mrbigtanker Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 While i am awaiting more parts to come in i decided to put those techno toy outer tie rods on my truck, no more grease and ripped boots. My fuel pump and ITB's will drown and so called squeaks from the hiem joints. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 After this my entire steering assembly will be him joints. Talked to the guys a t the offered shop and they assured me that was not a bad idea at all. Plus easy 100,00 miles before i have a problem with them. And they look cool. 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 What is going on with the misalignment spacer in the wrong spot? Matt I am still working on it. It's not bolted up yet just mocked up. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pic of the top of coilovers! I will try to get another one, don't do it, coil overs are not worth it unless it's done right. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looking good. And 500lb springs!!!!?? How's the ride? With my fat ass smooth but it's still rides like a mini truck when you hit the bumps.. The geometry is wrong period. But for what ever it's worth it's nice not to have the torsion bars under there. Saves weight and it's so much more space under there. 1 Quote Link to comment

Are there safety washers for those heims? If they fail mounted in single shear like that, the housing will just fall off leaving you with no steering. The safety washer will not allow the housing to fall off and will let you steer with a failed joint. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't understand safety washer, if your talking about those bevel cut spacers they are to keep the helm from being rubbed up against the knuckle. And even if it sheared how will I lose my steering it would be sloppy but I would not lose it. 1 Quote Link to comment
