Head scratcher of the day
I can't figure it out. This can't be normal.
My `79 CJ-5 with about 30 miles on its ground-up reincarnation is doing
something wacky with where it wants its tires to sit -- the fronts are
farther apart than the rears. The fronts measure 43 5/8", between the
inside sidewalls, the rears measure 42 1/4" between the inside sidewalls.
I thought that maybe it was my mix-n-match set of boneyard wheels (I
wanted plain stamped steels for their looks) doing wacky things with
backspacing, but I swapped the left side front to rear and the numbers
come back the same (I didn't try swapping the right side). Sighting down
the outside of the rear tires I'm looking about 1" into the tread on the
front tires, both sides.
I did sent the axles out for new seals (oh, a year and a half ago now) and
I'm reasonably certain that I got the same ones back.
Any ideas, anyone? Did Jeep ever make an axle that is /almost/ the same
as a stock CJ's, but 1 3/8" wider or narrower, and one that used the same
spring mounting pad spacing?
1979 CJ-5
258ci, 3-spd
Pretty much stone stock.

Re: Head scratcher of the day
That's normal, Ford and Chevy four wheelers do the same. I aids in
offroad ability having the front and rear not track the same, even
though it seems the rear would be more likely to flop around finding the
front rut.

Re: Head scratcher of the day
Thanks. I guess that I'd just never noticed it before, but it is good to
know that it is normal.
You would think that it would make the truck a little squirrelly, even on
pavement.
