    FYI: From a retired machinist, use low gear on the drill and keep the reamer wet with cutting oil/WD40/etc. for it to cut best and last.

  • @ryancarter142
    @ryancarter142 Před rokem +1

    I have a feeling that if you run with no proportioning valve your going to lock the rear tires before the fronts are engaged hard. The goal of a proportioning valve is to have front and rear lock up at the same time for best braking distance and control. Front tires have more weight above them wich means better traction when braking

    Drag link connects the steering box to the knuckle.
    The track rod connects the two knuckles to each other.
    You have no tie rods in that setup.
    The other common way this kind of steering is set up is to have the drag link connected between the pitman arm and an idler arm. The drag link then doesn't move with the suspension. You then have tie rods connecting the drag link to each knuckle and would normally also have a track rod between the two knuckles.

    to back of vehicle, as you would have with twin steer Prime Mover's.

  • @GULIVERSOFFROAD
    @GULIVERSOFFROAD Před rokem

    One reason that front axle walks is due to no double triangulation without a track bar and the over steering also i would recommend a Toyota style box that mounts on the outside of the frame

  • @K3NnY_G
    @K3NnY_G Před rokem

    Yeah.. The axle's gonna shift when you steer it, way 4-link goes with the steering still coming off the chassis, check out the bump steer when you flex it too.
    4-link works best with full hydro steering on-axle no doubt; panhard is to triangulate the steering and link forces stopping the axle shifting when it's setup right.
    Ask Paul about it. xD

    Robby you should never upset your lovely wife the boss is definitely one of a kind and someone I have a ton of respect for
