and coils.
still awaiting further proof that http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t61/gmhracer/o94v9v.jpg isnt a photoshop... anyone?? anyone?

It looks pretty damn real to me... and badass as well. :guitar:

How the hell does the steering work on a setup like that? rack?

 

[Fastdemise]

Oh pretty simple, you turn the steering wheel

That steering set up on the blue MJ is cross over steering, also known as a "swing set" steering. If you have equal length I beams, you run that style setup to get the most travel out of the front, with out binding you steering and getting bump steer. The tie rods pivot at almost the same point as the I beams themselves.

Let me see if I can find a few pictures of the whole setup.

Here's a bit better shot of it. You can see the draglink pushes on these brackets and it moves the whole thing as one... pretty simple but complicated at the same time. Big money wrapped up in that style steering in heims alone.

Look bedind the tie rod, it's clear as day... You can even see the inner "c's" and the lower control arm mounts.
