SFD steering HELP!

[DsR50]

ok so i have finished the SFD with 3 inch blocks and 5 inch strut spacer. I really need help with my steering linkage. Yea i could pay the 165$ for the linkage or make my own. so i went to the pick n pull and got one of those ujoints so now i have 2 total and got somthing hooked up but it binds so any ideas?

early 90s accord should bolt in.

Back in the day...wow, that got me.

 

I think I used the linkage (below the steering column) off a 91 Accord from a local JY.

 

 

Should look something like this when all is said and done (the primary reason for using this was the same shaft diameter/spline count IIRC).

 

 

One thing I'd keep in mind is that you've moved the steering rack away from it's preferred position (basically in-line), so you may want/need to consider rotating the rack to help with the binding issue.

 

Hope that helps.

The linkage wasn't $165, was it? It fit perfect, though.

 

My biggest problem now is finding rims and tires. 33s or 35s???

33s. I've heard theres need for more power if you wanna go to 35s~

[96Pathfinder4x4]

There's always need for more power...

There's always need for more power...

 

FACT!

here is the steering linkage i made, works good with no binding. I didnt know that you could rotate the rack, i think ill cut the linkage down to compensate for the adjustment
