Reply to "Frame horns cutting Cv boots?"

It seems plausible to me that the axles are too far forward. By this I mean too much toe-in, the 3-bolt housing of the outer hub is slid too far forward on the spring plates.
Either that or the wrong bolts are being used on the frame horns. There are special low-profile bolt heads on those two. Or is the trans mount cradle bolted in backwards?
Pictures would help greatly here...

I agree that something seems amiss here. I have a swing axle car and I’ve had it up in the air a number of times. I’ve never had an issue with anything rubbing the axle boots enough to cut or tear them.
