Rear axle centering tool

[auret]

Could someone please send me a link to find the instructions to build the jig to centre my rear axle? Couldn't find it on the search feature.

Much obliged.

Note it's 6 pages. Regrettably diagrams of the Jig's construction were not uploaded to the forum and the outside link has gone away.

Hello,

I like Dan Caron's method. Use a level to set everything up. While the differential is out of the car and on the floor, level each axle tube with shims between it and the floor, then set the vertical mount to 90 degrees plumb.  Very acurate digital levels are fairly inexpensive these days and would make the job easy.
