My 33 Ford has a Posie slider spring with reversed eye which drops the car 2" ...really not much. Yet the gear oil runs down the torque tube constantly. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue without putting in a oil baffle at the rear? Would a thicker gear oil do the trick?
Thicker gear oil is not immune to gravity........ Is the front of the torque tube lower than the rear? Ray
These are not my 'specialty'........but it may be possible to fit a seal in the torque tube somewhere ahead of the pinion bearing. Otherwise, as I am sure you recognize, the angle of the torque tube may have to be ahhhh.....'adjusted'. Or, switch to an open drive setup. The late '40's trucks had that and there are kits to switch a torque tube banjo to open drive. Of course, the ****** needs the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you get it worked out. Ray
