View Full Version : Tie Rod Length

I used the new 9" tie-rods that Mike is shipping and had to fab a longer pitman arm to keep the wheels from being ridiculously toed in. We also had to fab them because they were forgotten on the order by accident.

Interestingly enough, it worked like dream because with the longer throw on the arm, it steers much faster and farther. We did have to mod the footsteps slightly to get the additional clearance necessary though.

I'll get some pictures posted.

I also meant to solicit some input from others about what they've done since Mike is shipping the longer arms now.
