SFA draglink question

sewerrat · 09-17-2008, 04:12 AM

I'm doing my SFA with SUA. I don't need the height and the purpose of the project was to add clearance for the V8 swap. I'm no steering guru and far from it. My question is on the angle that my drag link (Rod from pitman arm to pass. side t/rod) is in relation to the front axle. It seems that it isn't parallel and I'm not sure if this will create steering problems. I'm guessing it's not right so I was thinking of redrilling and using a taper bushing insert and having the drag link enter from the back side so it will be more parallel. Thanks

there are two options i see. try and flip the tie rod so you can put the drag link in from the other side, or other wise get it to the other side. the option would be to get an astro steering box, they have the pitman arm forward and are used when you move the axle forward from stock like you did. most of us SFA guys run them including myself.

Mine looked alot like that when it had the D44 in it, it never caused any negative issues, it just didn't "look" the best.
