[snowblur17]

the more I look at that steering the more I think it's a good investment

[blakdot]

[Capt. Crunch]

[XJLI]

[crosbike]

that image is shopped. i can tell by the lack of oil on the oil pan/starter

[blakdot]

Thanks man

angles look Much better now. it drive better?

The trac-bar related issues are cured ie. the bump steer and DW around 45mph are gone. Now that i have gotten my tight front end back it has made other issues apparent. Its got a real bad pull under acceleration. I had it on the alignment rack at school the other day and the front end looks good. However the Thrust angle is off by a bit, which i'm not sure what to do about it.

[XJLI]

thrust angle is rear wheels..... thats.... impossible? lol.

[blakdot]

thrust angle is rear wheels..... thats.... impossible? lol.

not necessarily... Thrust angle is determined by the relationship between where the front and rear axles are positioned. If the front axle is left or right of the rear axle the thrust angle will be off. The problem is, if i know the front axle is where its supposed to be in relation to the inner fenders and shows up on the computer as in the right spot, why does it not line up with the rear axle.

[crosbike]

Thrust angle is the direction that the rear wheels are pointing in relation to the center line of the vehicle. If the thrust angle is not zero, then the vehicle will "dog track" and the steering wheel will not be centered. The best solution is to first adjust the rear toe to the center line and then adjust the front toe. This is normally done during a 4-wheel alignment as long as the rear toe is adjustable. If the rear is not adjustable, then the front toe must be set to compensate for the thrust angle, allowing the steering to be centered.
