Rotating centersections...??

[a_hiatt]

has anyone ever heard of rotating the centersection of the axle to get a better driveshaft angle. do you rotate just the center or the whole axle??
just wondering cause i could use it

i rotated the whole axle via control arms... gave me 0 castor, so it drives a littel different, but its fine...

You will want to cut and turn the Cs. Those are what the knuckle bolts to. I believe 2-3* of caster is optimal (not really sure, haven't specifically researched this yet). Cutting and turning the Cs basically rotates the whole axle. To rotate the center section would be hard to do because of the rosette/plug welds holding it press fit to the tubes. Look for turning the Cs on here and pirate and I think you should be able to find what you need.

Unless of course we're talking about the rears, which is when most folks use shims on the springpad or cut and rotate the pads.

dont forget about shock mounts if your cutting and turning... might as well...
