this is a message written by Bob Chestnut to the group
concerning axles

"There is a fix for the weak springs on a Scotty axle. If the
spring is broke,
forget it... Now to the weak spring...the best way is to remove
the complete axle
( after the tires are removed )and what you need to do is cut
the loops off the
axle ( this is the end farthest away from the wheel) that hold
the end of the
spring and move the loop up about 3/8 - 1/2 inch and reweld
to the axle, this
needs to be done to both sides. Don't move them to much or
you'll be cutting
them back off again ( only takes a little to gain a lot) . I have
done this to a few
axles and have had good results. I did it to the Scotty that I
took across Old
Route 66 to Ca. and back, a total of 3,300 mile plus and it
rode great.
It's not a hard job to do if you know any mechanics
