Thread: split tube axle

Tweet

The aftermarket did indeed try it, but inevitably it failed.

here is an idea you may be able to use http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/jour...ge=5&reverse=1

I did mock up a split axle using wood. The camber change with 3" of wheel travel was in my opinion, unacceptable.
I met Bret the owner of Fatman at a Goodguys show and discussed it with him. He said it worked fine on his '34 Ford but he severely limited wheel travel. He did not push the product

Just because he built it doesn't make it a good idea, we've all seen examples of bad engineering.

nothing wrong with that setup. just modified 1981 F-150 to fit the frame. the pivot points were measured out and are the same as what was originally on the F-150. if you look at all his work, you'll note that he doesn't produce shoddy work
