    So, I am elbows deep in the beginnings of rebuilding my epup after stripping it down. Last night I went to install the axles and shocks only to find that something was very wrong in the placement of the front axle in the wheel well. After scratching my head for about 30 minutes I looked at the rears to find that they seemed to be very far back in the wheel well.

    Light bulb goes off and I measure the bushing to pin on both. Damn it. I installed the front springs on the rear and vice versa. Glad I figured it out before I got too far.

    Its all part of the journey right?

    ,,,on our chevys,,,,,,,the pin is not in the center in the spring,,,,so that makes it a long end and a short end,,,,,maybe you just need to switch sides to center the axle,,,,
