|  Loving my new Universals!
Oh my God, what a difference in it's turning ability over stock. I should have done universals a long time ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 |

You would get even better steering and handling out of it if the caster was set correctly.

| Re: Loving my new Universals!
Please explain.... some things go over my head. Do I need to rotate the c-hubs forward a little or is it something else. Thanks

Looks like they need to be rocked back to me.

It is hard to tell in the pics but I think you have the chubs all the way back. If so then you can either lengthen the lower front links or shorten the upper front links to get the correct caster. Basically on the chub ears if you will, the upper ear should be more towards the back of the truck then the lower ear. I hope that makes sense.

Ok, here is a better pic. By rocking back does that mean rotate the chub to the back because the hub is all the way to the back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 |

The chub in the pic is where it needs to be. Now you need to either lengthen the front lower links or shorten the front upper links like I stated above. | |

Ok, I fixed the lower links a little longer and fixed the caster I believe the way you were advising. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 |

Thank you very much for the help. It's nice when others catch something I don't and it can be fixed. All the help and advice was appreciated. Question..... Is the rear needing to be done? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 |

The rear looks pretty good.. All you really care about there is the pinion angle... You want the driveshaft as straight as you can get it coming off the pinion shaft.
