Re: centering of rear wheel

If you are using rear blocks, they are made to move the axle forward to aid in driveline length. If you are using blocks, you can flip them over( you will have to pull the centering dowl and put it in the other side)
this will move it back a bit. If you are using springs then it is the arch of the spring moving it forward. In that case the zero rate leef is the better rout.

Re: centering of rear wheel

why don't they center the axle on the spring from the manufacturer?
