Product Information

 

Front axle lowering brackets for the XL-7 !.

These are used to lower the front of the front axle after a lift of +2" has been fitted... they are used to reduce the angle of the front driveshafts, particularly the CVs, and therefore reduce (not eliminate - that depends on your driving style!) the possibility of drivetrain damage.

They bolt on in place of your existing brackets and lower (rotate) the front axle by an inch (25mm).

Fitment : Direct replacement for the existing axle hanger brackets... remember to put a bit more oil in though to keep the pinnion oiled! ;) And when fitting, slacken off the two bolts under the crossmember that supports the back of the front axle, and slacken off the bolt that runs through the rubber bush stack on top of the crossmember (don't take them out, just slacken them off as much as you can) that will allow the front of the axle to droop down when you take the factory brackets off, and get these new ones in, then remember to tighten evertything back up again.

Sketch showing the displacement of oil away from the pinnion bearing when tilting the axle forward - so remember to put a little extra oil in! Either park it up a steep slope and use the oil filler hole, or add a bit extra through the diff breather hole using tube and a funnel.
