Off the wheels from the distance on my car (not yet aligned) is about
16.25". Seems like this could easily be +/- 1/8" depending on alignment.
Acording to my newly acquired Harborfreight angle meter, they are
drooping down at about 7 deg. With my 750 lb/in springs, the end will
only move up and 1.25 or so when loaded. You do the math, but the
shortening should be well under 0.1 in. One of my old axels was
completely frozen and I didn't notice it, so it can't be much!!

If yolk shaft = small part it's B76, other part is C3-3-719-1
