Axle Questions

Postby Sharky on Mon Apr 06, 2009 7:11 pm

Gday all, I'm about to reverse the axle on my van as it needs to be a little higher and want to change the u shackle that hold the axle to the spring. My question is do they have a rating at all or are they all the same and would supercrap auto ones be ok/safe enough for heavy van or should I go to repco etc to get them?Image
