32 axle bent twist ?
Does anyone know were I can find aliment rods/cones to see if my 32 axle is bent ? Tried looking for wood dowling but cannot find correct size
One side of my wishbone lines up but the other is off ? Really puts damper/hold on the build Spent a fairly large $$$$ amount to get this far Last edited by rust revival; 11-09-2019 at 09:55 AM. |

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
here's mine, made from 1/2" water pipe trimmed down in my lathe. how far off is it? if you can twist it enough to get the pins in, then check with similar pipes thru the king pin boss.

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
thats impossible, lathes are everywhere. how about wooden dowels with tape to shim up to size.

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
if the axle wont lay flat on a table, its most likely not the wishbone. the deuces idea of tapered cones is good as you could use it on both king pin and perch pin holes

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
bench grinder not very accurate unless you are very good at it. how about lug nuts re tapped for coarse thread?

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
It’s not that it doesn’t lay flat there is a tiny wobble and thought this is why the one right side of the wishbone is not lining up ? Trying to upload photos to show everyone what Im saying. But won’t let me

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
I was working on a 32 axle and needed to make jig. I was surprized when the welded to the jig rods would slip off the perch boss and the spindle boss. The holes are parallel!!!
I have no farther use for the jig and would send the rods to you for cost. They are not very long so I need to think this thru. |

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
Real simple. If you can, flip it over on it’s back. If bent, it will not stand up on its own. If it falls over, you’ll be able to tell which end is bent or twisted.

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
Photo posting problems are almost always file size. Assuming a .jpg file, the size limit is just under 586 kb. You need to reduce the photo sizes, most camera photos are in the Mb range.

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
I had an issue recently with the '32 wishbone on a chassis that Zach Suhr did for me. It was really odd. No visible damage, yet it was out of square. The ball lined up to the divot in the K, yet was about an 1" to the side. Obviously, it was bent, but it wasn't obvious to the eye until it was going to be mounted.
If your wishbone is mounted to the K, I would undo it, mount everything else and see where the ball section of the wishbone falls. It may help you narrow down what is going on. I'll admit I haven't read every post on this thread, but have you confirmed its the axle that's the problem? |

Re: 32 axle bent twist ?
Ok guys thanks for sticking with me
Now I’m Borrowing a friends axle, while I figure out shipping mine to get straighted , Now I’m not sure what to say. There is a gap on bottom , and top of the left side And a gap on bottom of the right side ???? As a result the bottom perch pin castle nut is not centering ??? I’m guessing this is also an issue. https://www.flickr.com/photos/185431...in/dateposted/ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d9104a_o_d.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/185431...posted-public/ Last edited by rust revival; 11-10-2019 at 11:58 AM. |
