GT wide front axles

[cautrell05]

How much wider are the 7222 wide front axles than the standard inline front axles? Thanks

IIRC they are 3/16" per side. I could be wrong though, it has been a while since I have used them. I use the T4 conversion now.

Thanks. What do you mean by the t4 conversion?

You can use T4 caster blocks, in-line steering blocks, Kingpin, and axles. You have to ream the T4 caster blocks to make the hinge pin hole 1/8" so it will fit on the GT/T/T2 arms. You can just run a 1/8" bit through it, but it is better to ream it with a stepped reamer. If you just run a bit through it you run the chance of making a sloppy hole and throwing off the caster degree. It gives you the widening you want, but also improves steering geometry, and will handle better than the wide axles.
