limped my truck to the alignment shop this morning after moving my steering box, changing angles messing with the camber the ride wasn't too bad but couldn't go over 40~45 safely.


so i get it back and they say it is better, so i was kinda worried but i drove it and it is respectable now. on a nice flat road its nice and strait smooth everything at least up to 75 which is fast enough.

still get some bump steer and it is kinda hard to steer in parking lots and such(which i think that is the intermediate shaft causing issues, as in too much of an angle for the Ujoints) i can fix that as time goes on.

I'll get some more pics later today.

I already put 60 miles on it since it was aligned, lol

I'm pretty happy with it though.

 

sweet!....glad to hear it is working now!

to get rid of bump steer, get yourself a dual steering stabilizer for the vehicle your axle came out of.....i have a custom made brackets on my truck and man what a difference it made.....i need the dual setup, but that will come soon enough.....

 

i can barely fit the one i have now on... im going out to modify it some since it hits my track bar.

 

do you have a picture of your axle straight on, level from the front?

i might have an idea for a steering stabilizer for you that stems off of a Super Duty.....

 

not a good one. ill get a better one today

 

alright.....PM it to me or whatever and i will see if the idea i have will work...

 

good to hear. glad it works out for you now. good luck w it!

 

I have always been thinking of getting the dual set up also in a way? Do they make that much of a difference? jw.

 

^^^ohhhh yea....my single helped a lot

 

Glad to hear you got it worked out. Now see how it rides at 100

Def good to hear you're getting the bugs worked out. I wanna see some action(flex) shots =]
