Hi all,

Im researching lowering van, and have come across this.  Can someone explain any of this too me.  'splines????'  

Thanks.


"early van; 44 inner plines, 48 outer splines.
therefore; 8.18 degrees rotation per inner spline and 7.5 degrees rotation per outer spline.
torsion bar to hub centre-to-centre i measured at 445mm (spring plate distance).
therefore; 63.3mm drop per inner spline and 58.1mm drop per outer spline.
fine adjustment, counter drop, i.e. 1 inner spline counter acted by 1 outer spline gives 5.2mm drop."
