Nice! How does that steering set up work? Do you get the same throw as you would using a tie rod?

hey good to see another vegas local guy back up and running.... also cool to see my steering setup spreading.

it works well, ive been doing it for about 6 months with no problems... you get more clearance up front than a straight tie rod and it you keep the links parallel with the ground, as flat as you can, it'll turn a little tighter than a tie rod setup will...

bunyip, try a little thicker spacer out on the knuckle ends, ive found that it works better if you keep the links as flat as you can.

See diesel's post

Revin9k I plan to run a 7cell 2/3 aa with 4 cells on the bottom and three on top, I think the 7 cells will give me a little more wheel speed because of the low ratio of the assoc tranny

Thanks for your help Franky in gettin my *** back into gear and out crawlin again

Thanks for the suggestions diesel all noted,

Not for long. Ford is getting tired of fixing them all the time.
