96 vitara steering questions.
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 11:55 am
I am looking into this for a friend. I have been searching through the bible trying to find the information but need some clarity.
First of all i was wondering where i could get a idler arm support bracket or if they are something i will have to make.
Second thing is the steering in this vehicle is very heavy, it is manual steering. To me the car looks like it has a 50mm lift the springs are a light blue colour dobinsons or something i dunno. Anyway i do not have a much of a grasp of IFS so i was just wondering if with 2 inch lift that you need camber bolts or something similar to get the steering feel back in the car, or at this stage if we just need to find someone who can do a decent alignment. The previous owner said they had tyre wear issues and had just had it done, but the steering is so ridiculously heavy.
anyways thoughts.
