Joey Mack Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 yes... the rear axle wont allow 5 1/2" OC by 28 spline slacks to fit, unless you buy left side and right side... I just dealt with this on (2) '86 RW 713's.. The issue I found was that the S-cam was too short and the snap ring on the outside of the slack adjuster would not go on... so I was not able to shim it out...

Joey Mack Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 yes, if your Mack Dealer will help you.. I do not have the part numbers, otherwise I would post them for you... The issue I found was that the S-cam was too short, coming out of the S-cam housing, and I was unable to shim the slack out to clear and get the outer snapring on.. jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68954-auto-slacks/#findComment-485791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
