Default Axle mount angles?

i need some help and im not sure if this should go in tech or fab so here goes...

I recently twisted one of the LCA axle mounts completely off and due to that, the passenger upper and lower mounts are mangled. I ordered new mounts and now i just need to find out the correct angle to weld the upper mount to. Thanks!

I don't know

Moved to Fab you will prolly have better luck here.

FrankZ may be a good guy to PM with this question.

Uppers are 10deg off the centerline of the axle.

Easy way to locate them is to bolt them on the uppers and us a couple floor jacks to properly position the axle under the rig then weld them in place.
