Flipping Draglink with Highsteer

Post by Weiner »

Hi guys,

Just getting the car finished for the weekend and need to know if there is enough movement in the ball joint if I put the ball joint end of the draglink on the top of the pitman arm.

the Draglink touches the tie rod and I need a bit more clearance and I think this will do it, but just want to make sure I won't run out of movement.

Cheers.

Pitman arm is too long it sounds like. Try using a 2wd one.

the tapered hole in the pitman arm would be around the wrong way, would it not?

I realised that when I took the arm off and tried it, thanks anyway guys :D

Might try a 2wd one of a flat pitman arm.
