Live axle installation set up

Recommended Posts

The lump will be going back in again on Sunday and I was wondering about adjustments to location. Are there any relevant measurements that need to be checked. Front to back are fixed but what about side to side. There is presumably some movement here which could be adjusted with shims on the A frame to chassis mounting and on the radius arms to chassis or shocker mounting. Or do I just put it back in without shims and just bolt it up.

The only adjustment is to make sure that the axle is central in the chassis. This is done by measuring the distance between the back of the brake drums and the metal wheel arch. This measurement should be the same both sides (<3mm difference if I remember correctly - but should be easy to get it closer than that).
