My make shift stabilizer worked. Rides and drives great.
For...? Rod ends, or??
Tube shocks fixed any bounce there was. The wobble is still there about 20mph I guess but is less, controllable and easiely driven through. You...
Well, I changed to the tie rod and drag link to the larger stronger 1.125 DOM. No flex whatsoever. The spindles were changed to the round backs....
Deep drop arms came in. No combination will work. Unfortunate. Would need to raise the front probably 2 more inches. That's above the now 1...
I ordered the deep drop arms and made a temporary 1" lift block to raise the frame for more tie rod room. We will see what it all does. I should...
For the record, I am not confused and actively asking questions to move the steering to the rear. My latest concern is the amount of suspension...
So the Pete and Jake's deep drop steering arms drop them 3.75". If tie rod is moved to behind the axle, and use those arms, I would have 1.75" of...
Thank you, this is what i was just asking. I will look it over tomorrow to see what would need to change to swap them to behind the axle and still...
This is an online stock photo of a Dana 60 but tie rod ends on tie rod are narrower than the ball joints. [ATTACH]
So talk to me about dropped steering arms. If I can stay above scrub line and drop below the frame with enough room for suspension (what seems...
And please don't read what I am not saying. I am not arguing, mine is not correct. I get that. Now I am trying to learn
Yes and no, the rules should still apply, yes?. Tie rod and ball joint turning a knuck or spindle.
My 2001 F350 Superduty 4x4 has a solid front axle (D50) not IFS and it has the tie rod out front also and judging where the connection is in...
I get it. I am not trying to ask for help and then listen to nothing either. Just going to have to change it all and no time/budget to start...
I did read them...read them all and taking all the help I can get. Not sure the reason to have someone bend their A axle purposely unless they...
Quite possibly it will have to go back to the drawing board and change it all. Thanks to all of you.
No idea really. Makes no sense. Also with both being the same, it is very strange to say the least.
So now I am confused. A model A axle with round back spindles seem to be the go to.. .those and passenger car square backs. Are you guys saying...
So I swapped over to the round back spindles. Camber is now 2.5⁰ on both and with the bolt on plate steering arms, the tie rod is too...
Maybe I will just remove these and use the round back spindles i have
I see the factory steering arms are about 1/4" difference in length measure from the axle face to the center of the bolt for the heim. So, do I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Camber pictures. Drivers side looks like 2⁰ and passengers side is 3.75⁰. [ATTACH]
I will check camber later today. It has 1/8" toe in
Yes you asked what total camber was. I asked back it an angle gauge on the rotor would be an adequate way to measure. I just want to be accurate...
Really hard saying in my eyes. It could fix the slow parking lot turns and scrub but I don't see how that will fix the shake. I am open to all...
Ok so maybe I was uneducated on this one. I didn't know a difference between square back spindles. Are there car and truck spindles that are...
Unfortunately to put it behind the axle, the front of the car needs to be cut off and redesigned. I am not poo pooing your help, there just is...
I found my plate style bolt on steering arms. Can try those this weekend. Iola swap meet is going on so depends on how much time I end up with
