nope.. never even heard of such a thing as a swindle???

I know I used drop spindles and springs to lower my S-10 which is a common approach to lower vehicles. That's probably what you're trying to spit out but no one makes anything as far as i know.

I can't see how a drop spindle would help the axles, the only benefit that I know of them is to correct the excessive camber that results from dropping a car, but that can be accomplished by caster/camber plates as well.

If a shop is trying to sell you "drop swindles" for a Maxima, then the only thing getting swindled is you.
