I am going to make tube axles for the next 2 projects so if you have knowledge to share about camber speak forth.
Thanks, oj
btw, unsprung weight in the front is minimal so any weight savings is a non-factor. Another point to onsider, Xmoly is a natural for the front axle as it is high quality steel and when bent it'll return to its natural shape. You bend mild steel and it'll stay that way. Something to consider, esp if you do a wheelie at launch.
Thanks Glenn, it’s believed to be a Gen 5. 454. I’ll see if I can snap some pics of the stamped and cast numbers and post them here. Maybe we can define the year and model
