Hi All
This is a great forum, but sometimes hard to follow for a novice. I would like to know where to find info on parts which I read about like, pitman arms, draglinks, castor plates, crossover steering, 5link suspension, trailling arms etc etc etc.

What do these parts do and exactly where are they on the vehicle.

Im sure with all the knowledge on this forum, that I'll be bombarded with info... so bring it on!

Cheers
Ceej

yeah thats a pretty massive question... those bits you asked about are mainly steering and suspension bits and pieces.

since your name is "Ceej" by my awesome powers of deduction, i would assume you own an older Jeep, possibly a CJ6 / CJ7 etc. get your arse into the Jeep section --> CLICKY and have a look around. im sure heaps of people (like myself) were all once a bit confused by all the jargon and lingo in relation to 4x4's, but after a shitload of reading you slowly become a bit more knowledgable.

good luck mate! :cool:
