Re: Front suspension rebuild

As stated, 1.5" is about the max amount of 'traditional' notching/pancaking an x-member. I'm willing to bet alternative ideas can be accomplished but @ the cost of complexity. Even @ 1.5", a stock upper a-arm can make contact w/the stock steering shaft in extreme compression situations. Only 63-72 upper arms clear. 73-87 & aftermarket arms likely won't clear because of the larger pivot bushings. With 73-87 & aftermarket arms, a multi-joint steering linkage set-up will likely be required w/a notched x-member as the bushing barrel wants to occupy the space the steering shaft requires when connected to the box. The multi-joint steering set-ups add complexity.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol. Last edited by SCOTI; 12-14-2021 at 02:22 PM. |
