034x4's D44 SAS thread...

so basically your saying that when you changed you pinion angle you had to turn the inner Cs so the knuckles are flat...right

not flat, petty sure there is 6-7 degrees of castor built in

Why do you want to rotate the axles "C"s? Are you switching form a single cardan to a double cardan or something?

Of course rotating the pinion angle causes the caster to change but its not necessary to turn the axle's "C"s when you change the pinion angle.

If you turn the pinion too far up, it points the knuckles down, I had about negative 1-2 degrees of caster. I had to cut and turn the knuckles so my highsteer clears my leafs (which point up, torwards the front part of the frame) so now I have about 11-12* of caster, and it's destroying my tires. One of the reasons I'm linking the front so I can correct the caster with no leaf/steering issues.

 

[IZwack]

yeah links

 

[JS91X]

ohhhhhh...ok

will you tell people what it is already?

 

[jasonb]

You already swapping rears?

 

[034x4]

There are no pics of the front yet

No, not telling just yet, lol.

 

[Stic-o]

Good lord! I can't belive the size differance. I call D60!

 

[jasonb]

that looks a lot bigger than a 60 to me. Pretty sure it ain't a 14 bolt either. That ring gear/carrier looks brand new?

 

[034x4]

Stock 44 w/760 spicer on top. Stock "new" shafts and joint on bottom.

Ahahaha, the stock rear shafts are bigger than 14 bolt shafts.

 

[jasonb]

It's not a 70. That probably makes it non Dana unless you got something that I don't know about.

 

[Stic-o]

New carrier - left. 31 spline 8.8 carrier - right.

It's a 10.25 If you look closly you can see the VSS ring on the back of the gear

What do I win!

A notched pin, for my 8.8?

 

[jasonb]

could be.. I've never seen the guts of a 10.25. I didn't think a 10.25 was that big though.

 

[034x4]

Nope, alot bigger than a 10.25.

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

rockwells?????

 

[034x4]

rockwells have 2 ring and pinions.

 

[JS91X]

secrets are no fun

 

[mynameisaric]
