please excuse the stupid questions but this is my first attempt at fitting a rear axle
its a mk1 escort, ive got new single leaf springs from rally design, a 11/2" lowering kit and an atlas axle
the brackets have been replaced on the atlas and are now in the correct position and have a 13mm hole in them for a locating pin?
ive also got some kind of upper brackets for the springs and a rubber insert for it (hope this makes sense)
now ive put it all together how i think it should be but it all seems a bit random regarding positioning as there is a lot of play in all the bits,
should there be a pin that goes through the spring and into the lowering block or right through the whole lot does this do anything apart from line it all up , can i just make something thatll hold it in place until the u bolts are tight.
ive got tramp bars but need all this in the correct place so i can weld the brackets on
dont worry its not being left like this, once ive got the axle in the correct place ill tack the tramp bar brackets in place and start on the panhard rod
