Re: JPOR: axle swap



Congrads!  I'm way behind you.  I just finished my T-18 swap and put the
TeraLow 4 to 1 in, and I'm just now getting ready to pull the stock axles
and install the GW D44s.

 You said:
"The castor has changed, but it is livable. Mostly I notice that
the wheel has less tendency to center after turning in. "

What degree of caster did you go to?  I've been told to use 4 to 5 degrees
of caster. This advice may be based on the fact that I'm going SOA, but I'm
not sure it makes a difference. ... I'm hoping my wheel will turn back to
center as well as stock.

I'll be looking for this brake symptom once I get mine on the road.  Good
luck.
