Speedway gasser axle ?

I have a speedway straight axle with the 49-54 chevy car spindles.This might be a stupid question but where do the steering stops go. I used search function but nothing came up. Any help would be appricated.
Thanks

 

I would guess that they would go on the inside and not the outside .

I was just getting ready to ask the same question. I am running the same axle but with ford spindles. I am using the disc brake brackets that came with the straight axle kit. It looks like they use the brackets for a stop. When turned all the way the bracket hits the axle where the king pin boss is welded on. It still turns to sharp and I guess I will try to make a stop and use one of the bottom threaded holes for adjustability. I am using a Vega steering box with a crossover set-up. I sure hope someone has all ready been thru this, and maybe has a few pictures.

 

...stock 37 Chevy axle has a stop like this on the rear side...uses kingpin lock bolt.

 

Thanks for the picture. Speedway axle does not have the bolt, but it does give me another idea to look at. Thanks again.

 

What holds the king pin in the axle, a set screw?

 

If his speedway axle is like mine Then , yes , setscrew. I used an extra long set screw , locknut, then acorn nut to act as a stop , seems to work fine , been that way for 13 years & 35K miles !!

Yes it has a set screw.

 

yes typical speedway ....almost a good product. there is no engineered stop ...like "2old 2 fast" idea sounds good to me. Have at it

 

Thanks 2OLD2FAST, I will look at that fix to. I guess I was just thinking about it to much.

 

Most (all?) aftermarket tube axles are that way and always have been.
