Frequently Asked Questions

How does the WISHBONE wishbone axle locator center the rear axle on my your vehicle?

The WISHBONE wishbone axle locator centers the rear axle on your your vehicle by connecting the axle housing to a central pivot point on the chassis. The wishbone design prevents lateral axle movement during cornering that causes the rear end to step out. These WISHBONE axle locators maintain consistent rear axle tracking through turns on your your vehicle.

Will the WISHBONE rear axle wishbone fit my your vehicle's factory brackets?

Yes, the WISHBONE rear axle wishbone is designed to bolt to your your vehicle's factory axle mounting brackets and chassis crossmember location. The wishbone width measures approximately 34 to 36 inches at the axle end with a single pivot at the frame. These WISHBONE wishbone locators include polyurethane bushings at all mounting points for noise isolation on your your vehicle.

Do the WISHBONE wishbone locators prevent axle hop on my your vehicle?

Yes, the WISHBONE wishbone locators significantly reduce axle hop on your your vehicle by controlling lateral axle movement that contributes to wheel hop. The rigid wishbone arm prevents the axle from shifting sideways during hard acceleration or braking. These WISHBONE axle locators work alongside leaf springs or coil springs to keep the rear end planted on your your vehicle.

What size is the WISHBONE wishbone rod for my your vehicle?

The WISHBONE wishbone rod for your your vehicle is constructed from 0.75 to 1.0-inch diameter DOM steel tubing with 0.120-inch wall thickness. The rod length from the axle mount to the frame pivot is approximately 28 to 32 inches depending on your your vehicle's wheelbase. These WISHBONE wishbone locators use 5/8-inch hardware at all mounting points for strength.

Can I install the WISHBONE wishbone locator without removing the leaf springs on my your vehicle?

Yes, the WISHBONE wishbone locator can be installed on your your vehicle without removing the leaf springs by working around the existing suspension components. The wishbone mounts underneath the axle housing and connects forward to a crossmember without spring interference. These WISHBONE axle locators require jacking the vehicle to access the frame mounting location underneath.

How much does the WISHBONE wishbone locator improve rear end stability on my your vehicle?

The WISHBONE wishbone locator improves rear-end stability on your your vehicle by approximately 40 percent in lateral grip during cornering. The wishbone design eliminates the side-to-side axle movement inherent in leaf spring suspensions under high cornering loads. These WISHBONE axle locators make your your vehicle feel more planted and predictable through high-speed sweeping turns.
