What is Axle Shaft?
An axle shaft spacer member for use with a suspension lift kit. The spacer member enables the wheel spindle of a vehicle to be moved laterally a desired distance, which in turn enables the upper control arms associated with the wheel spindle to be lowered when such would not otherwise be possible because of interference with the frame portion of the vehicle. The spacer is a disc-like member having a thickness equal to the desired lateral offset distance needed to enable the upper control arm to be lowered and re-mounted via a drop bracket, to the frame. The spacer member enables the original suspension geometry to be maintained, thus maintaining the ride and steering characteristics of the original suspension system while enabling vehicle ride height to be increased.
