Thinking of either running a z link steering arm or using rose joint on one end of the steering arm instead of a ball joint to over come binding through articulation.
It s on a GQ with 5 inch flexy coils, Atm it has super flex arms but going to a 5 link.
What about heating the pitman arm and twisting for better angel for ball joint ?
What are peoples thoughts and ideas ?
