Axle A (One Ton's old D30, lock-rite 4.56) has leaks, and looks like the LF wheel is cambered in way too far. I 'might' have been mean to it at Tellico this year....as in a couple 4-5' lifts & slams. I think One Ton was always nice to it tho :dunno:
Axle B (my old MJ disco 30 TrueTrac 4.56) no leaks, but lost a LF wheel at 60-+, ruined a hub and ball joint, unclear if I set it back right. It also saw a couple runs up to Tellico. It drove fine, but it'd be nice to check it too.
I have access to a surveyor's total station, but unclear how to set up the shots needed w/o adding a ton of error. The knuckles would be tape measure easy...but their "skew & true" would be hard to see w/o a jig?
Axle A is less worrisome, since it is temporary for me, and intended to be flogged. I got it cheap, and if it gets a few more runs it's OK...
Axle B is more important and "may" migrate into my other XJ...be easier to swap axle housings than to swap the carrier/R&P. (since the XJ would get 3-4" lift then too) I'd have all 4 BJs redone if I 'knew' the housing or steering knucks were not gonked.
TIA for some insight into "industrial measuring"
