If a car has a bent spindle what are some symptoms a driver would notice or endure or how would the car react to the issue? Please elaborate on some of your personal experiences.

If it's bent depending on were it's bent. Your toe and/or caster camber could be off. The steering would feel different as the cars goes through the corners and could feel like it's darting down the straight away. Hope that helps.

Assuming your setup was good in the first place the thing probably most noticed will be sudden inconsistency and lack of feel for the car from the driver's seat.

They sell spindle checkers. I know ppm has them and I believe you can get them from Allstar as well.
