high Steer problems

Post by Webbie »

O.k l have a 1st gen with 3rd gen front diff,mated to this are a set of high steer arms the same as those made by M&M(single taper hole per arm) l have used the 80 series rod ends same taper as lux but bigger.But the problem l have is on the passenger side rod end there is a reciever taper for a steering dampener(l think) l was told to put a rod end tru it then connect it to my 80 series pitman arm , via a tie rod of course and another tie rod end into the pitman arm.Can someone please shed some more light on this for me THANKX. BTW Greg from albury has suggested a idea :armsup: just seeing if anyone else has used these arms and what they did.
Lockers or Knockers ,both will make for fun.

How close to the passengers side tie rod end is the hole?

Will an 80 series tie rod end fit in this "extra" hole?

Maybe a photo would also make life easier.

My zook was kinda setup like that when I bought it. Unless you can get the drag-link nice and level, it won't work to well. With the lift mine had, instead of turning the tyres, it's roll the tie-rod (since the draglink was pushing down, and pulling up on the tierod) until the tie-rod ends maxed out, then turn the tyres, which gave it heaps of slop, and was just plain scary to drive.

Heres a pic of how mine was setup.....I replaced it with a superior double arm, which made a huge improvement.

Well I`ll be buttered on both sides.So that may be the problem with my old truck.Have had problems with the steering since I got it.Would get confused when going over choppy surfaces and shimmy badly.Replaced the tierods.That sort of stopped it.But still ocassinoly happens.The Drag link is not as steep as yours but still not flat.
