[Land-speed] Front axle

[J.D. Tone]

Page 46 stats a minimum of 44" or tread width. My personal roadster has the 
top center of the king pin at 41" and my tread width is 50". My rear tread 
is 50" also.  Tracking is important. Try negitive off set wheels if you want 
to move yours in. Cheaper than an axle..I do not consider mine close to the 
body...Good luck
