Hey B,yikes wrote:Thanks Andy! I just don't like the 22ish degree bend on the passenger link. I've seen it many times on different rigs, but goes against my way of thinking. Maybe the good side is it will absorb hard impacts and save the sector shaft. Haha!Silverslk wrote:DAMN Brian, looks good. What don't you like about it?
And to think, I'm happy just painting my front bumper. hahaha
IMHO I'm with Steve on this... don't over think this. I've seen quite a few swing steering setups and I'm with you and don't like the "excessive" bend needed for clearances but you know, they seem to just flat work! It does go against all common sense to put such a large bend, straight is ALWAYS better, but in these cases, it's just not to be. And again, they work really well. You mentioned yourself...not much toe change... that's what you're trying to achieve... the added stability and reliability you'll get with straighter steering... and from what I've seen, it really looks like you've paid very close attention to the details on strength... so I'd put all the rest of the part back together and go forth and romp that Bronco!

Thank you!yikes wrote:Thanks Trevor! Just for you, I'll go snap a picture or two in a couple minutes. It's getting close to completion. Still have re-assembly and final checks to do, but should be done for sure this weekend. Happy father's day to me!
Appreciate it.
Be nice to me, I'm learning....and slow in the head...

Brian, as usual, you have quietly achieved and shown us your awesomeness
Your attention to detail is stunning and I look forward to seeing you and the Bronco in action again in Baja
Well done, Sir!
