axle flange to axle flange

I did a search.61.5 inches, is the axle flange the part that the wheel studs are pressed into, or does that refer to the 4 bolt flange that the brake backing plate mounts to?

Thanks-

Eric

Re: axle flange to axle flange

The part the wheel studs go through is the axle flange. That will be the outside limit (except for a drum or rotor) that your wheel will attach to.

The 3 or 4 bolt flange that holds the backing plate/caliper mount is the housing end.

Thank you very much!

What do our factory rears measure to the housing ends?

Thanks-

Eric
