custom steering Knuckles and getting max lock

[R&D Mechanical]

And does anyone take into consideration the point of no return?

i wasn't thinkin when i got a quick rack, now with ps arms i doubt i'll have much more than 2 turns in my 86, mah mah mah monsta forearms

if your stuff binds then adjustable steering stops would probabaly be a good idea

This is my setup and i think it will be quite enough.

Power steering arms
Lock spacer
XT130 arms
15x8 -9 wheels
Adjustable tie rod ends


I am still having trouble with scubing but i think i can fix it when it gets wheel aligned, i wouldnt mind getting some adjustable control arms to bump the track out abit to get some good clearance.

just found this mint thread, put the paddles to it's chest and fired it back into life
good bit of reading thats for sure
having our own test rig at work we've found generally on steel one inch of weld will take a ton of pressure before bending or breaking, not sure how cast will react but if you get that much pressure on a hit to your tie rod you've crashed pretty much, i can't see day to day driving or drifting affecting it at all, but stranger things have happened!
secondly do you need more lock?? power steering arms give heaps of lock, but the ackerman and dragging that wheel would be interesting to see how getting rid of it changes things
josh priseman said to me once 'don't fuck with the car ed, just drive it'. good advice i reckon, gets a bit old when your forever fucking about with your buses setup
that said i'd happily put ps arms with less ackerman in my bus if it made 360's easier to do =)

thanks delazy haha

i havent even got around to using the jig yet myself...however taking 2 pairs of stock knuckles across to drift attack next weekend to give him to do for me...

one pair going into the ksev straight up to see how they go...

[blair]

Whats the deal-io with getting the copies made up? i got a donor pair here... x

[shift_rook]

i can get the jdi cut and shuts if you'd like to send em down, pretty insane knuckles, not sure on pricing, times like this a regret that quick rack, my steering is so bullshit heavy and this is just with pwr steer arms, still got the cut'n'shuts i'm yet to put on, gonna be pretty sweet for sliding though
