Clipping the stop nubs on the knuckle is a place to start... Ppl have taken a dremel to the back of the knuckle and axle stubs to give more turning as well... I've also read that CVD's will also help add more...

I would say thundertech CVDs and aluminum knuckles. Though the CVDs will be about 90 dollars for a front and rear setup, you'll get more turning radius with them and if you go with aluminum knuckles. That's what I'm saving up for right now considering I just broke 3 of the stock plastice ones in 2 days .


P.S. check the tech articles on the home page. I was reading them tosay at school and I think I read one about the CVDs.

Urm, just so you know, the front and rear axles on a clod are identical.

Anyway, clipping the nubs off, shaving round the rim of the hole where the stub axle sits and grinding down the stub axles will all increase your turning radius. Look for a thread called "Sinister Silverado" as it has some good pics of the mods needed.

The same way you'd do the front :-P
