Default Rear Spindle ?
Changed out the shocks today and noticed the right rear rotor (say that three times fast) was loose unlike the left rear which would not budge. Is this the sign of a bad spindle ? I have had the entire rear end redone including new bearings........any ideas ?

Thanks

Nah, it just means that the right rear has been removed and the rivets were drilled out. The left rear is still riveted. I'd put $5 on that being the situation.

Put on 3 lug nuts and then see if the rotor is still loose.
