Re: [A/S] Wheel alignment

["Philip Piper" <pmpiper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

This is quoted from an eariler post and is quite true.

The Henschen (Dura Flex) axle is bent at manufacture to provide the correct 
camber and tow-in.  Mounting brackets are then welded to the torque tube at 
the proper and exact position , so that the axle when bolted to the frame 
has the proper camber and tow-in.

In the event, the axle is some how bent out of alignment
specifications, the axle may have to be bent again.  The only way it can be 
bent to affect alignment to the torsion arms, is to shim the mounting 
brackets at the frame, or cut and re-weld the mounting brackets after the 
tube is bent to the correct alignment.

For a picture of the axle, torsion arms, and mounting brackets go
