Measurement needed from frame to centerline if frt axle location

[nvrstuk]

I could use a couple measurements for locating the frt axle in relation to holes in the frame and/or the bottom edge of the frt crossmember- prefer both if possible!.

I am pointing with the white tipped pry bar where it would be helpful to measure from. Thanks

Great link.

Anybody know how to print it? It's about 2x the length and width of my screen and not one option comes up to print... even rt clicking the mouse...nothing.

Also, where is a reference for the centerline of the axle?

 

[Steve83]

The front axle moves in an arc centered on the radius arm brackets on the frame. But it can move in 3 dimensions, so there is no specific centerline. But it's indicated by the circle below the spring bucket.

IDK why your browser doesn't respond to a right click - it's a simple JPG file. What browser are you using? Try another. Did you read the instructions below the image?

I can blown it up, even on our desktop computer I can't print even a part of it.

I'd like to have a working paper copy as a reference. I'll keep trying. thanks


I realize the axle moves in an arc but at stock ride height there would be a consensus that a specific measurement would be reasonable for setting up a WB measurement when building a frame and the location of the axle in relation to the frame at ride height.

That's what I'm hoping to get.

I see what Steve is saying, and he is correct...as usual. Anyhow, I have a stock height Bronco that I can get some measurements from later today.

For aesthetics, do you need a reference from the center of the wheel opening to a known point on the frame as well?

 

[nvrstuk]

thanks Teal68 and .94 OR. MUCH appreciated.

I am going to reference my build thread again as I don't want two threads going at the same time.

Posted this thread yesterday to hopefully get more "stock" builder interest compared to those few that might be following my slammed build thread.

Anybody know how to print it?

I saved the file to my desktop and opened from there. Right clicked and printed with no issues.

 

[nvrstuk]

I'll try it! Thx

 

[nvrstuk]

Well, I saved it, printed it and it cut off the sides and top... try it again...

Books are SOOOO much easier! lol

 

[m_m70]

it cut off the sides and top...

When you go to print there should be an option to "shrink to fit". Make sure you have that checked and it should work........"should"

 

[m_m70]

should look like this.....scroll down

 

[nvrstuk]

Yup, that's what I did. TINY!!

 

[Steve83]

It's a LARGE digital image. It's best viewed on a LARGE computer monitor, so you can zoom in & take measurements.

 

[nvrstuk]

Agreed!

So on my phone I zoom and zoom and zoom and then get out a magnifying glass! lol

You should be able to have Staples or Office Depot/Max print it in large format for less than $10.
The whole process can be a a pain in the ass due to the time going there and waiting, but it can be easier on the eyes than squinting at your phone.

Do they those kind of stores in "big cities"?? lol
I think the closest one is 95 miles away.
Now if I needed a John Deere part... lol

We print long format maps at the office. Up to 36" wide by as long as you want. I inherited the laminator for those maps.
Might be somebody in your area that makes maps that could help you out.
