alright populous here's the deal:
i have been trying to perfect my steering for a while now (who isnt around here) and keep running into issues of tie rod roll and bumpsteer. the first setup i had was the JCR setup, which i ran UTK giving me a pretty nice dead spot due to tie rod roll. after i got tired of that i went to a homebrew Heim joint setup which i really like save for the bumpsteer caused by my draglink being 4" longer than my tracbar. so here is a pic of that setup:
now before i go on and show you what i am doing i need to address those who will tell me i am retarded for not going full high steer... my reason for not going full high steer is that i really like my tracbar. its the RE heavy duty setup with the brace, and i dont feel like junking that to move it over the axle. however i am still devising a way to flip the tierod up and still have it clear everything.
at any rate, here it is(keep in mind this is still very prototype, and obviously much gusseting, and double sheeredness will be in place on the final product.)
as far as mounting this bad boy, i have not decided if i just want to maintain bolt on status, or fully weld the thing to the knuckle. also i am debating taking the plate that sits on top of the knuckle and extending it all the way down to the origional knuckle hole which would tie it into the tierod as well.
as always i am very open to comments concerns, and suggestions.
