Could someone measure the distance between spring pad centres on their axle. It's going to be around 43" I think but I'd appreciate some confirmation.
I was surprised to find that the rear spring hangers (shackles ) are 45" centres and the front hangers 41" centres. I presume this is factory?

 

Center to center measurement on mine is 42 3/4 in. I just happen to have an extra one on the floor, off the car, so it was an easy measurement.

 

OK many thanks for that. A friend over here had one on the floor too that I didn't know about. His measured 42 7/8" so I guess somewhere around there is good enough!
