 |
|
Anyone know how far over left or right the box needs to be on a narrowed 3.5" axle? It obviously won't fit between the notches anymore. I could grind one of them down. Also how does it need to be clocked? The angle look correct, or should I just wait to ajust it all once the body is back on? Thx

The steering box should not be moved in either direction.
The steering shaft needs to be exactly straight going through and exiting the steering tube.
The steering box is tilted to far forward on the beam. That is why the pitman arm is hitting.

| You need to move the locators over the amount you narrowed beam on that side of centerline if you narrowed 4in u need to move locators over 2in towards wheel and weld them back in to locate steering box. |
