Hello...
I picked up my Dexter Axle today. I'm asking for a bit of direction on how the axle gets installed.
There's a flange welded to the square tube of the axle. This flange is an angled piece of steel and was welded onto the axle body at the factory. Bolted to that (with 2 bolts) is a separate piece of angled steel.
I'm assuming the separate piece of angled steel is the part that gets welded to the chassis frame (one for each side on frame)..... and then the axle get bolted to these 2 welded on flanges. Or... I'm wondering if that
separate bracket gets bolted to the frame??
Before picking up the axle I was thinking the axle gets directly welded to the frame... but now that I see the actual axel with these separate side brackets, I'm thinking it's the 2 mounting brackets that get welded to the frame (or bolted)
with the axle getting bolted to the welded on side brackets.
Does this sound correct? any thoughts/clarification would be appreciated
Thanks very much for the help.
John
