my tracking is a bit out.......

Sweety, once the new steering arms settle in it's no stiffer/heavier than normal, just uber precise

Cheers:thumb2 as both of my shoulders freeze up often I couldn't really have the steering much heavier:doh but if it settles like the normal set up then might think about doing it in time

It settles better than the standard set up :thumb2
Turn the wheel and it moves.
On standard size wheels and tyres personally I wouldn't think it's needed but when I first fitted the 33's with no damper and standard Draglink the bump steer was unreal.

The hard bit of this mod is getting someone to do the bearing bit in the drag link, the rest is just mechanical no? :nenau

Phew.I'm a bit stoned.
The drive home took more concentration than I had in me.
Its like driving a go cart..
The worst bit is I can't let the steering wheel spin in my hands after a turn to return it to straight.
But...
I know why that is .the bottom arms the Elton's produced for me are so accurate in measurements that the powder coat made them very tight.
I'm convinced that problem will resolve itself within a week or 2.
There is no margins for error with this steering setup.
I normally sit on big a roads with tunes on and let the wheel just float about in my hand.
can't nod off with this.turn the wheel a few mm it turns.
Its a scary experience to get used to so if your not hardcore off roaders don't bother.

Nah, my mk1 version was like a go kart steering on acid . I modified the drag link to be just a single ended rod. So effectively shortening the steering moment and therefore making it like a fast rack. I nearly put it in each hedge on it's first run

Come to think of it, where did the idea that uprated steering is needed?

And who says the limit is xx"?

yeah the steering is the weak point, and even more so when you raise the suspension as it make's it easier to leverage the idler arm
up into the chassi rail.:augie

Hmm sounds interesting :lol :clap

I fear that something needs to be done to mine as I am running quite large tyres and also enjoy the rarer but casual off-roading, I also came out with you guys - Elty and Steve
