Made the axle beam today, 2 x 3 1/4 wall tubing. If Im driving when this gets bent its going to hurt.
Cut the pockets on the end at 10 degrees to match the king pin angle on the knuckles.

Welded in, used bronze bushings in the axle, the king pin turns with the wheel. Made the tie rod from 5/8 cold roll, may replace it with 1/2 schd 40 pipe and weld these threads in.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
