Outer Limits 4x4 Board

As stated im chasin the measurement wen steering is turned full left or full right on the left hand side (tierod/draglink TRE )

On the back side where the draglink TRE is to the front of the axle housin ................


The reason i need the measurement is because im gunna fit my Mq knuckles soon and i need to know if this will clear the front of the radius arm on the left hand side



Dan

in other words you want to know tha gap between the draglink and the axle tube at full lock .... correct ???

clearance between tie-rod and axle housing. and the diemeter of the axle tube and the diameter of the tie rod would be good to make sure he is comparing against the right measurements.

reason being I don't think anyone has done the MQ knuckle thing on a vehicle still wearing radius arms so far??

he is gonna have to worry about wether the ball joint stud is gonna foul on the radius arm as well. but we'll get to that later
I am thinking it will be towards the outside of the arm the whole time

Thanx Carlton


Lucky some1 could explain in clearer terms the distances i need



Dan

If no wants to help out ....................



Then Wendle any chance of you doin a check on ya beasty like full lok and measure from back side of the TRE to the housin and then measure the width of the MQ tre and the standard gq tre end and minus that off the other measurement my Drag link will be the same od as yours as im sure you are aware ...........( should of checked this on yours on the weekend im fukin stoopid



is that right



Dan

yeah, no worries. I was out there last night too..
should be out there again tomorrow night..

Opps....sorry mate forgot all about this

I'll get the tape out this arvo 4 ya

Thanx Mate


Piccys would also beat farken awesome if ya can ...............


Ive had a dramas just happen so there aint no real rush now although the sooner i know the sooner i guess i can get the shite ready and on





Cheers Dan

pics....


the draglink only gets as close as 92mm on both left & right full lock.

Cheers V8patrol by the looks of your front housin axle tubes they seem to be less than 100mm??? .....this is also critical for me cause the gq 's are bout 100mm and this will degrease the 92mm measurement ..........

I will check tonight and c how far out the radius arms protrude from the housin but thinkin bout it may sit above the highest point on the radius arm bracket.......


thanx again Dan

yeah the front tubes are around the 90mm diameter mark., the rears on the MQ are 100mm !!

Your only loosing 8mm, whats the worry there ???

its taken him 2 years to build some bumper bars and a couple of shock mounts! he has no time left to modify radius arms before they outlaw the internal combustion engine!!
