Hi all...
Ive been wondering about the width of different axles offered in FSJ's.
Seems like a good thing to know since these axles seem to be popular for swaps into other (smaller) jeeps, as well as sammies, yotas and the like. Not to mention putting WT axles into NT Wagons...
I searched the forums and came up with alot of references to "Track Width" but no measurments of wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface (brake to brake).
The track width can differ between two identical axles as rim backspace and rim width can change the track width.
I measured the rear d44 on my 89' and it came out to 58.5". The d35 in my 87' yj is 60.5".
I measured the front d44 some time ago but lost the measurments, I think it was about 59.75.
I measured all of these with 2 straight edges and a tape measure.
So, in the interest of putting together an accurate database of axle widths, would those of you with different models and years of FSJ be willing to grab a friend, measure your axles and post your findings here with the year and model ?
Thanks in advance, and happy measuring...
