The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Front axle.

Jon,

I had my axle bent by sids dropped axle. He told me 2 1/2 degree shims we’re required since front is 1” lower than the back. He stated the shims would keep the axle at the stock angle to the ground.

I was only asking if the axle for his truck should be parallel to the ground like it was stock. I wasn’t sure if having front/ rear of front axle lower would upset the geometry that was intended.

After reading your information above, as long as king pins are at the correct angle, the axle doesn’t matter? (Obviously other geometry as well)

I am asking to gain knowledge. By no means am I giving advice.
