52 Chevy axle drop (where do these go) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Justed received my dropped axle and modified steering parts back From Nostagia sids. Have everything mostly back together but it has been several weeks since pulled it apart and i do not recall where i pulled these thick flat washers from. There are two left over per side. I am guessing they came from behind the brake backing plate near the large spacers but would love it if some one knew for sure.. Thanks

have you installed the spindles yet? if I remember correctly, there is a bearing tat looks like a thick washer that goes between the lower spindle and the lower side of the axle.
I don't remember a spacer that goes over the spindle shaft inside of the backing plate.

Thanks ... I shipped the axle off with the spindles attached and Sid replaced the king pins and shipped it back with the spindles attached. I am still guessing that they are off of the bolts that go through the backing plate as well as the steering control arms.. I am just not sure where?

If they are needed between the backing plate and the spindle you would see the gap between the backing plate and spindle on the other holes when you tighten the bolts in the holes with the thicker spacers.

There is washers that go in between the axle and shock mounts.
