« on: October 29, 2008, 01:30:27 am »I cannot understand why there is so much camber in those axles. If you were driving mower with suspension I could understand it. Again its more a prefferance. And I have seen many racers run them with good results. Ec fully adjustable front axle w/o hub is 245.00 with hubs is 265.00. Steering column kit is I think 26.00 (Guessing) plus you need mounts. For the price its a good starter kit. There many different options. EC Distributing is just one of many and we to ARE a 1 stop race shop. Parts from the ground up to include all engine parts. Some shops are more budget freindly but its like anything else, its what you can afford and the quality you are looking for.
On the polaris snowmobiles, they came up with a steering collumn that could be tilted to adjusted to rider preference. They changed it back to preset in a year or two (I can't remember how long) because they found they had complaints about people having endurance problems, due to the steering being set improper for the specific type of riding. I think the EC axles suffer from the same over-adjustabuility issues that polaris did. Some love them because they can adjust them to handle beautiful, while others are too impacient to dial the axle in, and are better off with an axle that while not perfect, gives them decent handling characteristics without them having to do anything.
