I have a model a axle with the wishbones still attached. Spindles are by themself. I have the kingpins somewhere. Came out from under a running and driving vehicle. The owner wanted an IFS. I bought this several years ago and never used it. $150 for all. I'm located in glasgow,ky

I also have a 46-48 ford car front axle with the wishbones still attached. $125.

I have more parts to add.

Would the 48 axle go under a 34 fordor to make the juice brakes conversion? I'm in NY, so gettin it here will be a PITA. Thanks.

A 48 axle will have the spring in front of the axle, not on top. I'm thing all you will need on a 34 to make it have hydraulic brakes is later model backing plates.1941 and down. I'll check for sure.

Wouldn't the spring ahead of the axle lower the car? I realize it will also shorten the wheel base, but will it lower it too? Just thinkin out loud. (can't you hear the grinding noise?)

It might be lower a little bit but not much. You'll probably need to get a reverse eye spring. If thats not enough, you'll probably need a dropped axle.

Here is the 34 my buddy is building. Previous car he built was a coupe.
