Re: [T3] auto axles


Hello-

Okay, I'll take the bait.  A dumb question for ya:

How in the heck can the axle length change depending on whether or not it is
installed?  Last I checked they were pretty hard steel and tended to keep
their size... :-)

My first thought was that maybe you were somehow forging a crude measurement
by measuring between the CV flanges on the car, but that wouldn't work as
that distance would change depending on suspension position, rubber mount
condition, etc.  My next thought was that you were measuring the length of
an assembled driveshaft (i.e. axle plus CVs plus boots), but the longest
part of that assembly is the axles themselves.

Just curious :-).

Take care,
