'87 V20 front axle shifted. Please help me fix it
Short version: I let an employee I manage drive my personal truck to fill a business need due to the severity of a recent snow storm.
When pulling out of a drive to leave a property, he slid into the curb and cracked my rim, as well as shifting the right side of the axle back. I witnessed the incident, and as much as I want to kill him, I can't blame it on excessive speed, just the right combination of factors to have bad things happen. The owner of the company is going to reimburse me for any expenses relating to this, and I do plan on getting everything checked out. But, I at least need to get it driveable. The right side of the axle is currently loose enough that braking will cause the axle to shift. And right hand turns? "Fugettaboutit". I need to know where to measure and the distance amounts to get this thing back where it should be. For example: "From the front of the spring perch to the centerline of the front spring mount should be XX inches." Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! |
