Axle Check

[BPVan]

Thanks Roger, I appreciate that and I will take you up on that as I need to press the seals out of the leaf springs too. GOt everything out this morning, now on to cleaning parts and the under carriage for undercoating and getting the axle parts taken apart. Happy 4th everyone.

You go Brian, I expect to see that stuff at my shop for powder coating!! Plus I would like to see the parts so I know what to look for. Just don't get it too far apart that you can't get it out this summer!!!

Parts are going in this week, kingpin reamer still available from someone? I also read in a couple spots a rotary tool with a hone will work?

Brian I have a reaming tool but not sure if it is the right taper you need. I think it is. I might send it with those parts and you can get it back to me at the mini regional.

Probebly not the case, but are you sure it has not been intentionally bent to align ? I know that is often the case with trailers and semi trucks

[BPVan]

I did consider that. The amount it was bent and the wear on the tires I pulled off tell me it was more than that. Also, the center link, or spindle connecting rod, was quite bent as well. I feel much better with the straighter axle I have now, plus its already powder coated.

Other parts will be there today Brian. I forgot about the reamer. Let me know if you need it and I can ship it out tomorrow...
