Axle datum points

I know of no such thing. But... Logic would dictate that the distance from the trailing arm outrigger to the trailing arm mounting holes on the axles should be equal left to right. Assuming all the bushes and bolts are in A1 condition that is.

Same for the front, but the radius arms.

If all is equal then

This will of course be hugely dependant on the chassis being square and all the mounts being in tolerance, as a starting point. Rgds.
