Need Steering Geometry HELP!
In a self-medicated Sudafed daze I attempted to make some progress on the truck today. Attempted to install the drag link, new idler arm, new pitman arm, and new tie rod ends.
First I turned the wheel lock to lock and centered the gear box. I installed the pitman arm pointing straight back. Installed the new idler arm. The drag link is installed with the end pointing forward. Assembled new inner/outer tie rods and adjustment sleeve, adjusted to the length of the old ones removed and installed. This caused the front spindle to turn in, so I’m assuming that I need to remove and rotate the pitman arm about a quarter turn clockwise? What is the position of the pitman arm when the wheel is straight? Also, as it is installed the drag link is touching the k member and the driver’s side tie rod is uncomfortably close. |
