OK well before this thread degrades any further
the following work has been performed on HellBetty:
1. New Redhead gearbox installed-Outcome: steering behaves
2. Steering stabilized installed- Outcome: steering wheel ‘death wobble’ tamed
3. Alignment- Done
4. Drove about 250 miles over Midwest highways with pavement repairs with my son either riding shotgun or driving, listening to him go over (and over and over
) how i shouldn’t expect my ride quality to improve very much seeing as how I have a solid axle-
Today I revisited the job parameters with Stefan the 4x4 shop owner to make sure I had not missed any suggested repairs. I agreed to call Quigley for some info. Stan with Quigley informed me that there is no adjustable control arm available, verified that I had the correct the alignment specs and etc. Then i made a trip to 4x4 shop to discuss and have Stefan look over the new double-Fox shock steering stabilizer.
SO the Control arm ends are worn but not enough to need replacing, the wander is outcome of the lift on a van chassis with a solid axle with caster that cannot be changed and any other work to remedy that would be done on conjecture.
He likes Quigley as being quality work but with the limitations mentioned above. He offered to remove the steering stabilizer he installed but I’m going to sleep on it.
Has anyone else tamed their steering wander?
Anyone else had better outcome from Johns AOR single-Fox shock SS?
Thanks
