    Front Axle Question Empty Front Axle Question

    Guys, I have a question on a 64 front axle. I'm replacing the king pins, does it matter which side of the axle faces the front? Both sides look the same. Just want to make sure i get it back together correct. Thanks.

    Kris it absolutely does matter. There's a built in caster angle forged into the casting. Look at it from the side and you can probably see it. It's a good idea to mark each side with a different color paint before taking it apart so you know how it goes back together.
