centered 9 inch

Had my nine inch centered this weekend how do i get the driverside axle measurement? I think the p***. side is ok at stock length?

 

anyone?

 

If I remember right, it will be 2 inches off fromt he other side. There was a thread recently where somone talked about using an off center rear and someone chimed in with the measurements. Might look at Mark Williams, or Moser website and I bet it will tell you. Or you could pull the axle and measure it.

 

If you order an aftermarket axle, they'll want something like this.

How much did you cut of the tube that you cut down? For some obscure reason it seems that that would be how much shorter you would want the axle shaft on that side.

If the housing is centered ,You need another short axle If the yoke is centered I don't know.

 

Tell me how wide your housing is, and the length of the one axle you have(the end of spline through the access hole on the flange) and I will figure the rest for you. I will also need to know what bearing ends you have.

 

If the pumpkin is centered, shouldn't the axles be the same length? The pinion will be offset 7/8", if I'm thinking right.

shouldn't you be able to measure from the end of the tube at the bearing end to the side gear inside and add the amount the axle flange stick's out from the end of the bearing end?

 

p*** axle is 31 3/4" the housing is 56" Thanks Art

 

and sorry guys it is the pinnion that was centered

 

-Kramer told me that the rear end was out of a '77 Ford pickup, which means it is a big bearing housing with a 2 3/8" brake offset.

-Kramer also told me that the housing width was now 56". The right side axle is 31 3/4" long.

-A little math will solve for the unknown:

- 56" housing width + 2 3/8" brake offset + 2 3/8" brake offset = 61 3/4" total rear end width.

- 61 3/4" rear end width - 31 3/4" right side axle = 29".

- 29" - 1 1/8" space between the axles = 27 7/8" left side axle length.

The left side axle will be 27 7/8" long from the end of splines to the outside of the axle flange.
