BR Motorsports Tech Tip:
SQUARING YOUR FRONT AXLE
SET THE FRONT axle on 4” set-up blocks, or 3” and 4” if it is a raised rail car offset the axle 1” to the left side by adjusting the sway bar.
This gives clearance to the left front torsion arm and combo steering arm. Measure 14” from the center of the right front torsion tube to the
center of the axle on both sides. After roughing in the radius rods to this measurement, measure from the leading edge of the rear axle (still
on 6” blocks) to the rear edge of the front axle on the right side. After having gained this measurement we will set the lead. Check the left side
the same way and adjust the rod length so that the left measurement is equal to or up to 1/4” set back depending upon driver preference and
size of track. With the axle now square we can adjust the caster. Place an angle finder on the right front steering arm. Adjust the top right front
radius rod so that the angle reads anywhere from 6 to 10 degrees. Again this is driver preference, some drivers like more positive feel in the
front end than others. With this compete you can drop the axle down to race height, set up blocks and adjust the stops. Don’t forget to set
the tow. An 1/8” of tow out is generally the norm.
