    Firing Order changes with cam?

    Front Spindles (94 vs. 96) Identification

    I've done much reading about how 1996+ spindles push a wheel out further on a fox. If I've buying used, how do I determine the difference ? I other words, I only want a 94/95 spindle... so how can I identify the correct part ?
