Re: Pro-Touring S10
We've made a bunch of progress. here's some updates.
The steering fix took two steps. 1. We moved the lower ball joint out 1.00" and forward .300" this fixed the camber and caster. We got weld in ball joint cups from Speedway, cut the arms with a hole saw, and welded the new sockets in, they use OE ball joints. 2. Next was to fix the bump steer. After much testing, we came up with the correct location for the inner pivit points. New mounts were made from 3/4" thick steel, same as the stock center link, drilled and tapered for the OE tie rod end, then welded to the stock center link. Not to high tech, but very effective. Static alignmentis -1* camber, +7* caster, 1/8" toe out. This has .057" total bump steer in 6" of travel.
