C4 Suspension ?

Hey Guys,

Anyone out there using a C4 front suspension using Flat Out Kit,
I am trying to hook up my steering to the column and am finding my
Rack conection Double D is not 3/4" ? What source did you use in hooking up
the universal joint and what size is this? 17mm ?
Hope this makes seance? and any Pics?

Thank you for your time,
Allen

I bought mine from Summit. C4 rack is 17mm DD. Summit has several options for 17mm DD to 3/4" DD universals.

I used the shaft from the C4 and ground a DD on the end to the steering shaft
You have choices on the coupler DD to size of your steering shaft

Re: C4 Suspension ?

be careful with the vibe reducers if you run any angle, they don't usually like too much off angle stuff and will come apart. they are more or less made to run straightline.
