left/right track measurement
Hey guys,
I've been looking for the cause of a vibration above 65mph (may go away at 80). I'm looking everywhere and determined to find it this time.
My left side track ( center axle to center axle) is 117". On the right it's 116". This may be inherent in the "I" beam front end. If you can measure yours let me know what you get.
Also the engine is offset to the passenger side about 2" mesured at the water pump center. Again maybe normal but I'm looking for confirmation.
1977 F-100 short wide two wheel drive.
Thanks

track length should be the same try to find some points on your frame on eachside that are the same holes or rivets ect. take an x mesurement. they should be the same. or take it to an alighnment shop. frame sounds diamond.

It 's seems like the engine offset is intentional. I'm still not sure about the track length though. Anyone got some measurements?
An alignment diagram (4 wheel) would be nice to fine.
