that is all good advice if your starting angles are good. the car was wondering on the road, probably because our tow angle was off, and on top of that the steering wheel was totally crooked to the point we could not use our turn signals normally, so we needed to start from scratch.
@@supplementaryservicemanualyou adjust the steering wheel by pulling it off and setting straight.not turning the draglink. This can make steering turn faster one direction.
@@supplementaryservicemanual When you changed the springs, it changed the drag link position and turned your steering wheel. it did nothing to your toe.
yes i know, but we wanted to change all the bars, so we needed to realign the wheels after the install. after the spring swap, the steering wheel was turned 90° to the left, so much that the turning signals lever did not want to operate.
thanks! :). it is a mild lift, a little softer then stock. the shackles are welded so the car is notably more stable at speed. we had a problem with death wobble, and this half fixed it. it was completely gone after we rebuild the front knuckles. i wish it was even softer, but that is hard to find in our part of the globe.
@obscuremountain shackles are welded might be the problem. I bought some bolt on plates from Low Range Offroad for precise toe in I have mine at 3/16". Death Wobble is sometimes caused by misalignment or unbalanced tires ... greetings from a fellow Sammy Nut in Oregon U.S.A
we thought that the wobble could be coming from unbalanced tires, but it felt much more different then unbalanced tires. after we replaced all the rubber bushings it wobbled less, and after replacing the steering arms, the wobble was gone. still on same crappy tires :). i know that the tow in is a little much, but as we dont drive it too much and we have crappy tires, we are not concerned about for the time being. also, lror is not an option for us at the other side of the lake :).
Great video, thanks for sharing!

thanks! :).
There's a much easier way to bo this
please share so we all can learn the easier way.
How is the MF lift kit? Great video
