: so whats with these orbital eye things??? DCruiser138 08-09-2001, 02:58 PM i keep reading about orbit eyed spring eyes and how i guess they flex like mad? ive got so far that they like pivot to relieve the spring of the torsional movement...but could someone show a pic of one? i cant picture it. thanks!

That's freakin' kewl!!!!!!!!!

I understand they don't fit the hangers but it doesn't seem like they would fit the spring arndog brainless 08-09-2001, 08:22 PM no they dont fit in any spring but the ones they are built on . they run $450 a pair right now and the hangers i am still working on .. i will keep this board updated on any info .. alan rustbucket 08-09-2001, 10:40 PM What keeps the axle straight when you drive down the road. AOR 08-23-2001, 02:44 PM Originally posted by rustbucket: <STRONG>What keeps the axle straight when you drive down the road.</STRONG> The spring being u-bolted to the spring pad on the axle housing won't let the spring turn, and the general weight of the rig. The eye won't do anything intill the axle goes into it's articulation range of motion.. | |
