Im trying to figure out the best way to get my rear axle straightened out.You might of read me post about this b4.But when I had my accident the driverside rear axle went towards the rear of the bed.The blocks went forward.&rear U bolt got broke...causing it to bull away from the od unit breaking off@the t case & the ear om the motor mount bending. I need help on best course of action to take on fixing the axle.The rest I think I have.
Support that side of the truck on a jack, to the frame. Jack it up to take the weight off the spring. (just enough to lift the tire a quarter inch off the ground.Take off the existing u-bolts. Reposition everything so it is where it needs to be. Lower the truck just enough so there is a wee bit o' weight on the spring. Install new u-bolts. Tighten em up, remove the jack, check 'em again.
Does the bolt thats ontop of that piece of plate do anything?There's like a knot on it and I didn't know if I should just take will do it or for runs through all of those pieces?
