Regarding the Blazer CUCV:
Is there an inherent weakness in the
rear axle housing on the M-1009 ?
Took a passing look at my wife's 1009 the other day and it appears
that the axle tubes curve, like a mild "U", from backing plate to backing
plate.
The other day saw another 1009, sure enough, it curves as well.
I can't say that this is good, but is this normal for them
and how much is bad? I know the ideal is non.
Guessing the rigs had to be overloaded. Can't be good for those
splines.
For a comparison, I measured my M-715's rear axle.
Besides looking it, it measured straight.
FYI: I used a laser to supply a straight edge and measured from the bottom
of the axle tube to the beam.
Thanks all!
Ted H.
