used shims. i have adjustable uppers RE fixed super flex lowers., 4.5 springs 1.75 spaces, rustys hd trackbar and mount. Stock steering components. Would like to upgrade the the rcp unit same as motion offroad. going for alignment and tire balance today. Hopefully that will fix it. we will see. if not i was thinking about drop brackets but the braces don't fit. anyone have any problems Drop brackets in the long run?

well took it for a test drive tonite after fixing all the camber/caster issues i had. check my toe and set it properly. got up to 4th of course.. DW. now i am upset because i can't do anyhting to get any more positive caster besides buy adjustable lower arms.. wish i haed never bought my adjustable uppers.. could have got a long arm upgrade at the cost i am going to be at!!!! check all bolts and nuts. the only other thing it could be is the superflex joints. anyone ever had an issue with these wearing out causing dw? thanks

i was just looking at the jcr offroad kit which i think is the same thing. I may order this tomorrow so i can get it in the truckety truck. I need to finish it all and get my trans/tcase in so i can get my d-shafts measured...

well crap, i went the wrong way on my adjustment is what you are telling me?? need to rotate it down more... that cool. I almost bought RK Extreme Duty Steering Upgrade kit. i mean i stil lwant it but a drop pitman arm is going in as well to help releave some stress on the stock steering setup.

could my camber be off because of the stock steering setup not being long enough pulling up on the knuckles??? sounds crazy but maybe?

Measure the caster with an angle finder on the upper ball joint face. Should be at least 4* Positive, not negative. I think CW posted up a pic on this previously......... positive???? really? i thought it had to be negative.. pointing the pinion up more. negative would point the pinion downwards.. but if it is supposed to be that way then heck i am 12 degrees off! look below for the refrence between positive and negative so we are on the same page... http://www.mkiv.com/faq/caster.jpg

i'll sanp a shot of my castor measurement so you can all tell me i did it wrong. (hope it is wrong)

looking into it i think i measured my castor wrong..

i put it at negative 6 but maybe that is over kill??? well, at least it isn't hard to adjust.. toe looks fine though

anyone put 6 inches of lift keeping the stock tierod steering setup have their camber way off??? the bottom of the tires are pointing in and causing all kinds of issues. i know i can get adjustable ball joints but hoping the steering setup is what is causing the issue. would my castor being to far negative cause this?

I just went to auto zone and looked em up. Anything was better than what i had. I used to work on houseboats and had access to the HD crimpers and cable. You could get some serious heavy gauge stuff then..

yeah that would suck..funny how arizona heat just melts those cables.

get those springs in your ride yet??? Hopefully i will have my trackbar mount tomorrow and be back on the road.

how does one ID an 8.8 for limited slip and gear ratio? any specific model exploder that came factory this way? looking for limited slip 4.10 disc brakes. any help is appreciated. thanks!

broke the cable at 198,000 that was a year ago almost..

kind of like a hum? kind of like a bird? so it sounds like a humming bird?? :brows:

yup... you gotta pull them... hate to tell you that just drop the tranny as low as it will go on a jack to get to them easier.
