Message: [QUOTE="JSchuricht, post: 1181126, member: 5768"] I didn't realize you were up to version 3. I hope you don't take any of this personally Trevor. I know your reputation and I have a ton of faith in the work I have seen from you. I merely intend to post as much factual information as I can because that's what I love to see when I am looking for info on something and in reality, seeing you solve an issue vs chocking it up to a customer issue like a lot of manufactures do goes a long way. In my line of work, everything is measure in angstroms and nanometers so I tend to look for the small stuff. If anything, I hope you take it as constructive criticism. One thing I had been wanting to test but ran out of time is deflection of the axle. I wanted to put a dial on the axle and see how much it has deflected in relation to the pumpkin when jacked from the center as I had done. I didn't need the clearance to get under the truck, but it makes it much easier to turn the wheels wile underneath to check for binding. That may have had some effect on the tolerances that caused issues. I am also amazed by the difference between trucks. The knuckles are cast so there should be minimal difference between units, my best guess is in the mounting of the C's and the milling of the knuckles after casting. This was a 93 axle so it was likely done with jigs that wear over time vs a modern computer aided system that can correct for variations. Out of curiosity, do you cut these out on a waterjet? It would be great to seem some shots of your equipment in action. I'm a geek and seeing how stuff works is practically porn to me. [/QUOTE]
