Help - pitman or zlink?

Post by crombiex »

Hello... I just bought a samurai unseen, and upon arrival it turns out the front SPOA lift was not completed so I've been told I have to find either a Zlink or a dropped pitman arm to correct the steering. Do these both do the same thing? which is better? I have heard high steer is the way to go but it's too expensive...
Any info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Aaron

You will probably get more/better responses if you post in the Suzuki section.

Yes you do have the wrong forum, but I will make two points on the topic.
the "Z" link does nothing to reduce bump steer. The dropped pitman arm does, but places more strain on the steering box and its mountings.
If you could remount the steering box lower down on the chassis you would not need either components.

I've had a Z bar on a sierra and is an absolute shocker. The thing steers all over the place everytime you hit a bump. I would try to run some type of histeer setup with the steering rod running over the leaf spring if possible and set it up to keep that link relatively flat.
