When I built my frt axel out of a 2.28 Cad 8 7/8 I flipped the axel and I
fliped the "king Pins" so that the continuation of them will go thru the center
of my tire contact patch---I hope that this minimizes "Torque Steer" I also
picked up a Drag Boat oil pan to hopefully solve the engs angle and being
mounted backwards.
