RE: [A/S] Axle help needed, 1965 Caravel

Hi everyone,

Two years ago, we broke the axle on the rough road to Lac Opataca in
northern Quebec. It was welded and got us home,
and then we replaced it with a new axle. Trouble is, they put in a 0 degree
axle, and when it "settled", the tires are now rubbing against
the wheel wells, and already ruined one tire.

Does anyone know what degree axle is best for a 1965 Caravel? We have tried
to check the archives of the old VAL list
with limited success. I cannot find a searchable archive for this list; am I
missing it? Any help will be greatly appreciated; we have a
trip planned soon.

Hi Sue,

The original down angle on your axle was 22 ½ degrees & yes, I can supply
you with a new axle that fits correctly. I have all of the specs.

Thanks,
