rear housing moving ?

Had a similar problem in 1970 with I think multi-leafs, but I'm not sure. Might have been mono's... Lakewood slapper bars with J bolts and wedge plates to change pinion angle.

Made longer bolts thru springs with custom made pins that dropped into Lakewood bars. Allowed bars to pivot without coming off pins...Those pins were probably 3/4" diameter and threaded to screw onto those thru the spring bolts......

Tough to remember exact details but I know it worked...

Rear moved, tire hit and wore a groove before the fix.....
