Pretty sure I know the answer to this...just hoping I'm wrong.
After pulling the differential out of the wife's 1968 MK1 GT6 and replacing it,
I'm reassembling everything. I hung the axle assembly and installed the axles
at the differential. I hadn't installed the shock yet and decided to rotate
the axle. I noticed the spring going up & down...maybe 1/4"? I did the other
side & it did the same thing. After getting the shocks installed I spun both
axles & notice a slight up & down motion of the spring. Is this normal? Are
both axles bent? It's hard to tell with a straight edge. For now, I'm going
to "run what i brung" as I have to have it ready for the Louisville British
Bash. I do have another set of axles to use...of course they could be bent
too? I guess the proof will be the drive to Louisville. I had the drive shaft
balanced & new UJs installed in both the Driveshaft and axles.
TIA
