rearend location
« on: May 31, 2006, 01:55:39 PM »

OK I JUST INSTALLED THE MP OFFSET SPRING HANGERS AND I'M TRYING TO THE REAREND HOWEVER WHEN I PUT A LOAD ON THE REAREND IT THROWS IT OFF 5/8 OF AN INCH. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WITH THE REAREND CENTERED THE MEASUREMENT FROM BACKING PLATE TO LEAF SPRING IS DIFFERENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IS THIS NORMAL?Huh
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

You have the spring seats clamped in place with the u-bolts for test fitting.

The seats should be an equal distance from the axle tube flanges, same for the backing plates. Mine are 1/16 off, but that is factory quality control.

The MP seats have an oversized loacation hole in them, This might be why the housing is off to one side.

If everything is tight, can't see why the assy should move 5/8 when loaded.
