Hi, just rebuilt the atlas axle off my Capri. Went to fit it and realised that all it had to locate on the leaf spring was a single bolt on each side! Surely theres gotta be some sort of insulator or rubber mount, as each bolt leaves about a 10mm radius gap to the axle bracket. Would probaly explain why the steerings heavy on right hand turns and why the diff gave up in the first place! E-bayed and googled but no joy, any help would be brilliant. Cheers!

 

Forgot to mention it's a mk3 2.8i, but it's running on a standard atlas. Probaly off a 1.6 or 2.0 mk3 as it has a slower final gear. Cheers.

 

All sorted now. Machined a tapered mount up.
