Steering mod

[R1cho]

As the steering drag link on the T2 is a bit poo i decided to get makeitfit to build me one of his steering mods, the big day came and a box of bits was delivered, after opening the box i discovered one of the bolts was missing and on closer inspection could see where the little bugger had tunneled out

not to worry i nipped to the motor factors who told me i would need a bolt makers to get one, so i found a boltmakers (after a lot of running around :lol ) and £1 later had the bolt i needed.

Time to get on with the job

the parts :naughty as you can see the draglink had no captive balljoints, instead they have been removed and replaced with rosejoints, you can also see some +2" shocks :naughty i've also had off makeitfit

you will also need one of these buggers a 41mm spanner for the nut on the steering box arm

and some big hammers for hitting things with :lol

i cut off the nut to the old tiny ilder

then set about getting teh monster 41mm nut off the steering box

then removed the track rod ends

but one of them was stubborn and had to be removed with a ball joint splitter

the new monster idler and steering arm

and steering arm on the os

after its all been fitted on and i've had chance to go and erm test it on a little lane near me :naughty i can honestly say the steering is so much better, its more responsive, i do highly recommend this mod and instead of paying £100 for a standard drag link pay makeitfit a bit extra and get one of these babies made :clap:clap:clap

Why did you change these parts, did you have problems with your steering

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

well done to both of you, looks a very tidy job :thumb2

because the fixed balljoint are a bit poo when green laning and tend to break after a short time and its £100 for a enw drag link. so may aswell pay the extra and have uprated version and never have to repalce again
