Maybe swap them side to side ??

They can put up a fight coming out. The levers for the tie rod are the ones. They make the ackerman angles according to the wheelbase. Depending if they're different and how different, the truck may not behave ideally as far as steering. It'll end up oversteering or understeering , wanting to fight you on a wet road or something fun like that. OR ??? they may be the same thing as the truck needs IDK. There's some geometry engineered into those things.

Those levers are keyed if I remember right.

Some of those tractors came with taper leaf in the front. Probably no chance your levers that came in the truck fit in the replacement axle ? or do they

You likely missed the point....
Oh, I get the point. Those in charge prove the fact that with enough thought you can rationalize anything. Now if that's good or bad ???? whole other story.

They are no different. There is a reason they have never been used since the two were dropped on Japan. If Iran used a nuke on Israel, the 10 largest cities in Iran would be vaporized within 25 minutes. I think mutually assured destruction is 100% real. I think most other people do too. That is why they have never been used again. Additionally I doubt they would nuke the third holiest city in Islam and contaminate / vaporize the Holy Land at large.
This is the same Iran that has been "just weeks away" from attaining a nuclear weapon for literally the last 30 years. Just a little over a month ago director Gabbard reported that Iran is nowhere near being able to enrich fuel enough for a nuclear weapon let alone build a nuke. Was she lying?
Sure Iran is regional bully and "state sponsor of terrorism". I honestly couldn't care less what they do over there. None of my business. To me they are just a saber rattling FUD that amounts to absolute zilch for average American citizen. To my knowledge Iran has never attacked this country or carried any terrorist attacks on American citizens here. Heck the largest terror attack in our history was carried out by our supposed closest ally and "best friend" in that region. Not one hijacker was Iranian. 15 were Saudis though 🙄. Even though it amounts to absolutely nothing, I highly doubt the "death to America" mantra is totally unfounded. If the US and CIA had not been playing around in Iran back in the 60s and 70s we wouldn't even be here. The US government destabilized the whole country because we are righteous and they are not. And here we are 50 year later still telling them what they can and cant do. Its honestly not hard to see why they are angry. At this point dropping bombs on them and killing their citizens is treating the symptom not the problem. I doubt it created any good will with the average Iranian citizen. Certainly not with any of the radical ones.
Use them or not, the headaches they'd cause pushing their radical views on everyone with the threat of using them is more than enough reason they shouldn't have them. Problem with the bombing ???? it's around 40 years too late. Oh, and if anyone thinks there's a way the average Iranian citizen has access to information about the rest of the world ....riiiight.

Obama might be the worst president in modern US history. I certainly would not use his actions to validate anything. It was wrong then and is wrong now. It has nothing to do with Obama, Trump. Or Democrat, Republican. Or Left, Right. The fact that a president can unilaterally bomb another sovereign nation and kill its citizens without Congress' (the people's) consent is heinously troublesome. I don't think US foreign policy is righteous. In fact on the contrary, probably for about the last 80 years US foreign policy has been overall terrible, and has not been in the best interest of the American citizen. I think there is ample evidence to support this. Murder hornets are more of a threat to US citizens than Iran is. But we just spent half a billion dollars leveling sections of their country for our safety. Anecdotally I fell less safe now than I did last Friday afternoon. Not by much but the feeling is there. I think the US meddling in Israel's matters is not in the US citizen's best interest.
It matters not but for the record it was more than 75 according to General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As I understand it the third site was leveled using dozens of cruise missiles launched from submarines due to it not being a fortified, underground site.
🤣 yes...because congress does so much only after the people's consent.

Exactly. She can look like her heritage and display it and nobody is supposed to say anything. Fetterman ??? He's a lightning rod for comments on his apparel. I think he has much more intent to do the right thing than she ever could.

It wasn't too long ago opinions like her's and so many others would have been the whimsical delusions of a spoiled rotten teenager. How these type get elected is beyond my ability to understand. Every chance this joker gets to be in front of a camera, she's trash'n the country. WTF

Kinda like that other stupid bish, Whoopi. She's a black American woman, she's a millionaire probably many times over, and she says it's better to be a woman in Iran than to be a black woman in America. I wish she would relocate her ass there.
Ted danson should be real proud of himself.

Superliner RW700 Steering axle
in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Posted
I had a couple Canadian Superliners. They started life as big tractors,and were converted to dump trucks. The one was on 20" rubber and had Hendrickson in the rear and taper leaf in the front (steer) . I changed it to 22" on the drives and put multi leaf in the front to level it out. Ended up with the same thing you have going on. I was lucky though as the two trucks were quite alike and I just ordered those arms by the VIN of the one already like I changed the other on to. Maybe something like that can simplify it if you have a VIN ? Those ones (top curved around levers to the drag links) aren't as critical as the ones on the tie rod. Big exaggerated angles will likely wear ball and socket joints fast and it may lose turning radius in weird ways (more one direction than the other) Usually they're sorta flat through the tavel of the suspension (top ones) or the drag link'll be bent in such a way to drop the level of it. I think the RWs were straight ? The ones on the tie rod ? if they're way off, it could make the truck steer lousy. (Paul may have worded it better than me) Like when you need it to turn it might be less than ideal. (loose grave, wet pavement) like when you need every drop to make a turn with a lowboy ??? Be a pain in the neck if you go through swap'n the axle to fix one problem and discover doing so created another one.
