Steering upgrades???

Recommended Posts

You need to look at all the steering and suspension components together.  Play in suspension leads to steering problems.

  • Idler arm
  • center links
  • Control arms
  • ball joints
  • sway bar bushings
  • strut rod bushings
  • steering box adjustment
  • rebuilding the steering control valve and power ram

and on.  I did all of that stuff at once, lowered the UCA and stiffer springs.  I loved the results.  Then I wore out my strut rod bushings again and it is less precise.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the stock strut rods, opting for something like Street or Track. The "before video" scared the crap out of me. Watch the bushing compress, the strut rod bend and the wheel moving forward and back: 

here is the "after video":
