    Front Axle ?? T-bucket

     



    Hey all! I have just finished my frame , now to order my front axle kit. How do I know how much drop to use? I want to be pretty Looow to the ground. What if any steering issues might I encounter? I see axles listed from 0" to 7" of drop , right now I am going to run a Corvair box(rev'd) but I am seriously considering the new power rack unit that Speedway has listed. Thanks to all for your input!!

    Check that your stubs have sufficient clearance to accomodate the drag-link and tie-rod.

    My builder showed me this in action and mine smacked straight into the drop of the axle.

    Another T-Bucket *DOH!!* moment.

    So choose both at the same time so they are designed to work together.

    What's the link to the Speedway power steer unit?
