Guest stude8 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Here is a photo of a 1930 Studebaker front axle / hub detail, note the mechanical brake linkage attached to top of axle forging. The one you show may be from a mid 30's vehicle that had hydraulic brakes originally but it is considerably "Lighter weight" than the 1930 version.

Guest stude8 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Mid 30's Studebakers did use a transverse leaf spring front suspension but I am not familiar with those years much. If you could scrape around on the axle with a wire brush and try to locate a 6 digit part number that would make identifying it much easier. Actually any casting numbers would indicate if it was a Studebaker item and I could track them down in my part catalog library. Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
