DsR50 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 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?

Rick13 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited February 18, 2013 by Rick13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) The linkage wasn't $165, was it? It fit perfect, though. My biggest problem now is finding rims and tires. 33s or 35s??? Edited February 21, 2013 by 96Pathfinder4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2989 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 33s. I've heard theres need for more power if you wanna go to 35s~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DsR50 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 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 <a href="http://s1073.beta.photobucket.com/user/donovan_91/media/2E3128E3-C47B-4DAD-884C-AE8C1B99E1F5-2001-000002FA307231BB_zpsecfc7211.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w387/donovan_91/2E3128E3-C47B-4DAD-884C-AE8C1B99E1F5-2001-000002FA307231BB_zpsecfc7211.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 2E3128E3-C47B-4DAD-884C-AE8C1B99E1F5-2001-000002FA307231BB_zpsecfc7211.jpg"/></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
