could someone get me a measurement off the rearend? I need a measurement from the driver side frame to the center of the flange bolt on the rearend. I need the measurement to get my new rearend centered left to right. Its an 87 mazda btw.
The center flange is offset slightly, so if you center it according to that your wheel will stick out further on the passenger side than the drivers side.
All you really have to do is measure from the OUTSIDE of the frame rail to the backing plate on the drum brakes on both sides and make that measurement equal.
i'm not russ, but yes. You could also measure from drum to drum, outside frame to outside frame. take the diff. divide by 2, and that's your magic number.
