Is the Carraro Axle designed for the Grenadier or something from the stock?

I don't want to be a buzzkill, but the axle in your vehicle doesn't know that it wasn't designed to be in your vehicle.

The laws of physics are finite and absolute. See Newton's first three laws for a primer.

I've been replacing shit axles with 3/4 and 1 ton Dana units in everything from Suzuki Samari's to F series trucks for decades and most do not use a steering stabilizer.

It is not about the axle knowing where it is fitted to (By the way, I strongly believe axles have brains and know exactly in which car they are!!!)

It is about the caster, which is an important stabilizing parameter. If the axle is normally used with larger tires (as Cararro makes axles for tractors) the caster would be greater due to the larger diameter of the tire. If smaller tires are mounted then, the caster gets smaller (wasn't the small caster discused here somewhere, was it, as well as weak self-centering forces?), as the kingpin ground intersection is different then
