The bolt goes a fair distance into the axle just interior of the king pin housing. What is it's purpose? Photo attached. Thanks, Tom Attach file:   (52.58 KB) Posted on: 2008/9/25 0:29

Bolt is a steering stop (set for max steering without tire rubbing.)My totally inexperienced guess anyway. Posted on: 2008/9/25 0:39

If so that may be where it is listed. Posted on: 2008/9/25 11:14

But what does "Framistan" mean???? Some kind of special axle they offered or something??? Posted on: 2008/9/25 21:18
