It’s For NotchO Cheese, Put A Little In And Dip Your Chips While Working On The Car
That’s for the washer, which has a tang on it.
The tang fits into the slot to prevent the washer from spinning.

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards
When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.
How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime,
and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't look factory on mine. It looks like the lower A frame has a notch too. Are they all like that?

Re: why is there a notch in my spindles?
Are these notches on IROC's only, or are they on all third gen's?
