Thread: Straight Front Axle or IFS

Tweet

Deuce,
Do you have any problems with the upper locating arms hitting the exhaust when the rear end drops? I have a set up similar yours in the 34 3 W I am re doing and have concerns over the upper arms hitting the exhaust. Also, are any of your locating arms adjustable? I am making all 4 of mine adjustable to make up for any inaccuracies in my measuring for axle location and pinion angle.

Jack.

All of my bars ( front and rear ) are adjustable. When I ran the exhaust, I removed the shocks and the coil springs and let the frame sit down as far as it would drop. Then I ran the tail pipes.

The pipes do not hit ... but are very close when in the no shock/no coil mode. With the springs in and the shocks on ... I have enough clearance. My battery box is on the right side ... thru the floor ... under the seat and it did rub on a good bump. I discovered that after I installed the body for the last time.

I did have to bend the exhaust a little on the right side where it interfered with the battery box.



The 32 sits pretty low ... but nothing hangs down past the running boards.
