Marc,
These guys are using the layman terminology. It's a pretty common thing to car
guys, but if you don't know these phrases, it's pretty tough to explain.Do a
Google search on "drop spindle"... you'll find plenty of info.

Thank you. But I have not the slightest idea of
what you are speaking. What the hell is a "drop
axle"? Is there anyone out there who can set
this out in Layman's Terms or who can provide a
drawing of what we are discussing.
I am a dimwit and I am at a loss.
