Ok oh knowledgeable ones, splain something to me. On the TR6 the rear axle
assembly consists of a two piece splined half shaft. When the wheel goes up
and down through its normal suspension travel the splines allow the axle to
shorten and lengthen slightly thereby allowing the hub to be in the same fixed
location corresponding to the arc traveled by the a-arm. Im not sure that is
the proper description but I hope you know what I mean. Now lets move on to
this Spitfire Im tinkering with. It has upgraded axles, one piece design with
an outer roller bearing and inner needle bearing. The axles are a fixed
length; the stack up is what it is. With this length being fixed, does not the
flange location float in relationship to the hub as the suspension travels? I
guess that should be a statement not a question. This just does not appear
correct in my limited though process. Doesnt this allow a shift in the
relationship of the brake drum to the brake shoes? Am I just making a mountain
out of a mole hill and I should just accept that that just the way it is? What
say ye?
Thanks,
Marty
