I found this post on another forum:

"Q: my 2003 ozark front spindles are working there way out of the steering knuckle causing severe innerseal, discbrake and caliper damage. I also know of 3 other ozarks that are doing this. Whats up Suzuki? Engineering perhaps? Anonymous - 11/24/2004"

There was no answer to it and the poster was anonymous so I could not talk to the original poster. Can anyone here verify that this is a problem with the Ozark? We just purchased two 2004 Ozark's and this has me a little concerned. I'm not the best at mechanical stuff so I'm not even quite sure what to look for to confirm or deny this (apparent) problem with the front spindles.

 

I had to replace my wheels bearings up front but I was pretty hard on my Ozark. I had never heard of any problems with the spindles.

 

We had one, put a bunch of hard hours on it, no problems
