Get A New Spindle?

This will depend on how sensitive your body will be to this misalignment between your femurs and knee joint relative to your pelvis. I'm very concerned about mechanical alignment for my body, so would just pull the old spindle, and search for a new one that has the correct dimensions. That's just me. Wouldn't take much effort or cost a lot. Just replace it...
