Here I drew on the floor the arcs where I was hoping to relocate the drag link on the tie rod.
As you can see by the long arcs that the new location I was hoping for ...would actually be beneficalial . It's actually just about perfect...allowing me to stay within the guidelines that TS says is used by the big boys...and this is throughtout my entire 16" of suspension travel.
I will measure again when all done welding this up.
These drawings on the floor actually saved me a couple days of work since I had planned on building a different pitman arm, relocating my upper pitman arm bracket, and relocating my lower track bar bracket since I was just hoping that making them longer and yet keeping them in the same plane would be beneficial...this is even better.
For once TS actually saved me time instead of making me redo everything differently!!
Mark that on my calendar! lol
I can see by my pics that it would be hard to make heads or tails of them...but the arcs of the track bar and drag link are almost spot on so I'm pleased that it looks like I'm headed in the right direction.
Thanks again guys.
