Which Box do I want to run on my A that has a 7 inch drop axle I cant decide if I want the steering arm on top or on bottom of the frame rail? Which is easyer/better? AND cheaper?
You want a line that continues the length of the drag link to pass through or very near the (rear) pivot point of the radius rod, (when looking from the side). That way it will swing on the same or near the same arc, and minimize bump steer. The amount of drop (within reason) isn't a factor, in that it will just make the static angle between the drag link and radius rod be greater, but if they are swinging in the same arc you're ok. Or, if you run four bars you wnant the drag link parallel to them.
I'm running hairpins.(insert your .02 at the bottom) and what box should I run I have a stock A and a F-1. Should I trade these for a more modern one?
So-Cal, That F1 box would probably be more suitable and I think the draglink would hang down. But line it up like Doc says and ya should have less bumpsteer.I am trying to set the 38 up with a reversed vega so I can "saw" on the wheel. Similar setup. BTW how you bean?
