CVD steering help.

[RickM]

Hello all. I am brand new to all things LCC and really don't belong. I put LCC front drive shafts in my mini and I am working on something with it but I figured I would reach out to you guys for some advise. I noticed the steering is not as sharp with my LCC cvd's as it was with the MRC CVD's. The MRC's scared the crap out of me though so I like the girth and am sticking with it. Does anyone know how to increase the steering. I was thinking of grinding on the cup side of the cvd some as this is possibly the least stressed point of the cvd, but I have seen some guys grind some on the axle shaft. That scares me a lot! I did do a search for this but could not find anything. I am sure this has been rehashed a few times so sorry to repeat.

i have a detailed description in my BWD mini wedge build, and yes, PICS

you can still run mini toobs in the axles, to shim the diff , and by using a small burr on a dremel or drill press, hog out the slots the pins ride in on the shaft, and grind down the shaft where it hits the stub, and grind the stub down closely to where the pin spring stays in place.

I get you on this. I think your build actually spawned some of these thoughts on my end. I really want to be able to run the LCC shafts simply because at one comp last year we had about 3 axles break, all on the shaft side, not at the cups. This concerned me so I wanted to run as beefed up stuff as I could.

This is frankly why I want to work on the cvd cup end not the shaft. I am going to try and leave the axle shaft as untouched as possible.
