tie rod and draglink position ??

Post by hypo »

just wondering if running the drag link behind the tie rod is a problem ??

i wanna run a setup like an MQ but have the draglink behind the tie rod rather than in front. i think i will have the clearence on the drivers side. is that the only hassle ??

cause the carrier is bigger on the GQ diff then the toyota HP, you can't get the tie-rod high enough to not be stupid. the GQ tie-rod sits way lower than an 80 or bundera one.

i can't see why haviing the drag-link hooked to the rear of the tie-rod instead of the front would be an issue?

yeah agree about the GQ/U tierod being too low.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, as long as the tierod is far enough from the knuckle bearing to prevent it from buckling every time you try and turn right.
