If you look real close the seal used to ride pretty close to where I put the arrows.
Bingo. You are right on the money. Where you placed your arrows is exactly where the yoke was with the mono springs. When I tried to place the axle using the yoke as a guide, the axle/wheels looked ridiculously too far forward in the wheel well. It looks like a lengthened drive shaft and/or new drive shaft is in the cards for me.......
