Lots of work on Brad's part ... pure enjoyment (and references) for you!
| | THANKS!
For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 60 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 60 | Loosen the rear mount bolts, line up the front bolt holes, drop the front bolts in, tighten the rear mounts and the front mount. An eighth inch misalignment at the rear mounts could easily throw the front off as much as pictured. The mounts are molded rubber; lots of room for error there. The frame could be sprung or misaligned from the factory enough to do that even if you carefully centered the rear bolts in their respective holes. There's lots of room for slop here to make it work. Also remember that you may have to shim the front motor mount to get the u-joint angles equal if you have an open drive line. It the angles aren't equal the u-joints will fight each other and vibrate. Spicer spec. is 1 degree for trucks 1/2 degree for motorhomes. Shim accordingly. Thank you 1tontommy and buoyermaker for the information. I will try loosen the rears and try to shift the front. | | |
