I got my front end installed, steering box and new steering and I tried to eyeball allign it before I got it back together and thought I could kind of wing it because the allignment shop is not far from my house.
Well I put the tires on and such and backed it out of the garage, and it is a real dog! I have to gas it to get itfrom a dead stop and when Im accelerating it just doesnt have any balls.
I reconnected the front drive shaft and am running 4.10s front and 3.55s in the back, but I was told by everyone (except BillR ) that I could run this way as long as I didnt put it into 4wd...
I looked at the front end allignment and it is horrible!!! The caster is horrible, the driver side tire leans in at the top (noticibly) and it looks like it's toed in a little and I think the caster is bad on the pass side (bottom of tire is outward)
Could the horrible allignment be the culprit to my crappy accel? I wouldn't think so, but this is why I need help.
I also thought if you had different gears f/r and both axles were being turned by the tcase, that it wouldve shredded my tcase right off? Does anyone know anything about this? What should it do if I f'd it up?
Also another thing to think about: I put 98 hubs in w/90 rotors and reused my old calipers and 88 pads. Could this be causing drag on the tires? I retook the tires off and spun the rotors and they spin allright and the brakes felt good when I drove it for the half a block I did...
Thanks for ANY insight you guys can provide and I hope Im not as f'd as I think I am....
