*don't get offended*

A) It's pretty hard to understand your post.
B) Which shock mount? Where? with which shock? What's wrong with what you've done (granted, it sounds uberbootyfab, but what's the problem with it?)

C)I wouldn't put my phone number up on here
D)what's wrong with a reply to this thread? Why do we have to PAY to give you advice you could find by searching
E)How is your streeing setup? There's 11047567385764 ways of doing the steering on a SPOA, so we can't help until we know what's been done.

F) If you haven't done anything to correct the steering yet, get searching.

Sorry to have a flame replying first up, but we really can't help you unless you provide more information.

is the steering crossover, hi-steer or z-link? or???

it sounds like the steering wasnt done right and the lift is influencing the drag link.

Some photos would help.

I agree the problem might be associated with the drag link.

That sounds like a Z-link. If it is, then throw it far as you can, and get decent steering. Z-links suck more than DRS at the mardi gras. If you want to email me photo's i will host them and post them up. Email is in my profile.

First thing - that is shocking and down right dodgy. PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE THIS ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!! The person responsible for this needs to be shot. That is a standard drag link that has just been bent. One decent hit and it will break.

Im not saying this to be an arse -

BUT DONT DRIVE THE FAWKING THING


The reason your steering is not turning more one way than the other is that now the drag link is bent, it is effectivley shorter so pulls the pitman arm over to just keep the wheels straight. Get yourself a proper high steer/crossover steer setup. Snake racing knuckles are okay, but usually need machining due to crappy tolerances. There are plenty of options to explore from local and the stares, but please get rid of that dodgy ass bent standard draglink.

Also, noticing your location is Ipswich - SPOA is illegal in QLD, so if you are planning on road driving this you are in for problems.

HOLY CRAP. remove that at once and throw it off a cliff :lol: . defently go a nice highsteer setup. Will drive better, be more reliable and will be safer for you and the other people on the road.

search the forum, there's info on here about mounting a mecedes steering arm off the L\h steering knuckle, much cheaper than snake racings setup and works just as good IMO, you will need make a new STRAIGHT !!!! draglink, buy some heavy wall hollow tube and get the ends tapped to suit sierra tie rod ends, buy some new sierra tie rod ends and fit them all up. Then you won't have steering that will kill someone !!! :roll:
