Thanks for the replies; I am flying by the seat of my pants on this particular project. It is going to take me a bit of looking and thinking to figure out where the bushing is supposed to go (I ordered bushings with the axles).
I didn't notice the screws on the side of the axle for adjusting the rotation. Does anyone know the correct angle for the Spicer axle?
I have to replace the old axles because the balls have dug huge groves into the race. Everything else in the steering knuckle was trashed, so it's no surprise that the axles would be shot as well.
I have Bendix joints. But, the spindles have the shouldered bushing. There is a thread about this somewhere...if you have the shouldered bushings and they are in good shape then you are good to go...I'll look for that thread....
I never do this myself but I do believe that it's not a straight forward replacement. If it was me, I would give a call to Carl Walck and discuss about it.
There is also a screw on each side of the axle to adjust the maximum rotation angle of the steering.
We have three different kind of joint with three different rotation angle...
The deconstructin continues and the list of items that need replacing continues to grow. The latest is the original Bendex axels. I have ordered replacement Spicer axels an and am wondering what things I need to watch out for when making the swap. Also, the axels I removed were coated with grease, should I coat the new axels prior to insertion.
