@@coolstuffwithEric I don't usually post on YT. The inner axles need to be checked for face hardness and endplay setup for 005-007" The outers don't setup like stock 17 with an endplay number as most think. In fact most don't know the correct dial in on either. The spec of 001-008 is a mile long. If you can rock the rotor at 3 & 9 then the bearings are not dialed in correctly. The rotor runout should be under 003" Good luck. I most likely won't be responding to anymore comments on this thread, nothing against you, it just not what I do.
Nice suggestion but I went for an easier solution; I have installed (KYB) shocks which have one inch less max. length. Problem solved. If I recall correctly the factory ones are 14 inches extended so I installed 13 inches. Perfect.
@@coolstuffwithEric Hi Eric, I will need to check my archive with receipts as it was a couple of years ago. What I did was browsing through the product catalogs of the larger/ established Shock Absorber OEMs and selected the 1" shorter model. Will try to find the numbers this week. Grtz, Tjesse.
I assume the sway bar with its linkages are limiting the travel of the rear trailing arms, as this is an issue I don’t seem to have. There is constant downward pressure on the trailing arms from the transverse leaf spring. The sway bar and shocks seem to prevent downward travel.
@@coolstuffwithEric well I only have 20 miles on it since a complete restoration and I’m fighting oil and transmission leaks so it hasn’t been on the road much. When I return from deployment later in the year I’ll really know if it’s a problem!
About what angle is near max of half shaft to add cable length to avoid binding? Did you by chance bust out an angle finder? LoL 😐 I use chains on front on my nova in same scenario so it doesn't do bumper dragging wheelies. I just kept taking out slack until it would only do about half a foot wheelies. Thanks.
I didn’t bust out the angle finder, but these are custom axles, so they probably wouldn’t be exactly the same as your set up. 1’ foot wheelie launch make for great photos!

looks good. Toms axles, did you preload the outers and go 12 bolt inner?

What brand are the brake calipers?
Thanks
They are Aerospace Components.
