|  Does your steering do this?
This is my problem. When my suspension is at full compression the wheels steer out the opposite direction. Does anyone else experience this problem?  Here it is with one side compressed. Then it gets stuck and I want to kill it.  Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction.  |

I like your tires.;) check for binding on the linkages under the chassis, on the bottom that are covered by the lower front skid. thats the first culprit I'd check. |

No, mine does not do that. Something is bent or bound or loose somewhere.

also, problem solve it logically... I think its the linkages under the chassis because it seems to affect only one wheel. the linkages under the chassis is where it goes from one bell crank (through the chassis) and splits to each wheel via those linkages. |

I have it happen from time to time but it's due to having shaved my turn stops and extra amount of steering thanks to CVDs. The knuckle/linkage gets hung up on lower a-arm. I have to shave down my a-arms to clearance the parts more. But what I'd suggest is to look at the steering when it happens. See what's binding or getting hung up.... hint, hint. |

 I couldn't find the problem so I did the next best thing. I cut the hell out of it with the dremel. Back in business. I just have to make some body mounts.  | |

because it gives vicious "toe in" or Toe out. You shoudl REALLY look at the directions and see which way they went....

I've ran it both ways... neither seemed to matter but I do have the spacer lift and preloaded shocks. | |
