Chromos check, and it's under the front of a Samurai that's strictly a low speed crawler..I'm really not all that concerned about breaking it. This is just my first go at a welded front, and wasn't sure what to expect, in whether this was expected behavior or not. Much the same as getting...

Stripped the factory lockouts for cleaning off a '85 8 lug 10 bolt...put them back together, pretty sure I didn't get the drive flange set at the correct depth because now they're not unlocking reliably. I think I set them on the far end of the twist dial part, but it's been a couple years since...

Oops...didn't see the email on the replies until just now... Guessing using a screwdriver to pop the valve wasn't the best idea...would it be reasonable to use the same valve I use for filling, drop the open end of the hose in a bucket, then just crack the valve enough to slowly let the...

So probably stupid question from someone who's never ran coilovers before...Fox 2.0 emulsion..when releasing nitrogen charge, is it normal to get a bunch of oil spraying out through the valve too? Shock stood up, off truck. Pressed Schrader valve in, and felt like most of the oil came out...

I have the catalog for it around here somewhere....100cm3/6.1ci. Ended up being roughly 2.5 turns lock to lock.

It's not so much that I feel that those springs were the appropriate ones to choose, rather than it came about as a grossly inaccurate guesstimation of what the sprung weight was going to be when I started this build. I read a bunch of posts on various forums of people running 175lb single...

Oops..appeared I double posted.

Every day I'm learning more and more about this stuff...I do seem to recall that I couldn't compress the shock body when it was charged without springs before. I just went out and grabbed one of the spares, and did a quick test with it, without springs installed. Empty, it's easy to compress...

Ended up getting called into work today, so didn't have a bunch of time to play in the garage. I didn't have the steel I thought I did to make the alignment bars, so I just said screw it, screwed the tie rods all the way in on both sides and ended up with obvious toe in without measuring it...

Which would be great, if every road out there was dead flat, straight, and level, lol. The non load reactive was a plus for me, as one of my primary reasons for wanting to go to some level of power steering was to restrain a rock hit from ripping the steering wheel out of my hands, which was...

As I mentioned in the first post, I've been playing with a bunch of toe settings, going from 1/4" out to 1/4" in, and eventually settled on 1/16" in as the most stable, but that's not really saying much. I think I initially started with 1/4" in, and problems were obvious by 20mph or so. Played...

It was immediately obvious that I had a problem right from the get go on that one..had an insane amount of steering power right at idle, but lost _all_ power assist after about 1200rpm. It was like the pump didn't even exist. Back to idle, and it worked again. But it took about 30 seconds...

Always try to! Because I got a new valve for $50 from a shop that went out of business. At the time, it seemed like a add a $2 plug to the 5th port, as according to the Billavista hydraulic steering bible it could be plugged off, and it would result in a 2.5 turn lock to lock set up...it...

It's my understanding that the return/tank port on the orbital is blocked unless steering input is put on it from the steering wheel, and all exhaust fluid runs through the PB port. Then likewise, when steering is occuring, the PB port is blocked, and the tank port becomes the exhaust. At...

Added pics to 1st post...man, you guys are QUICK on the replies :D I tried to get all the pertinent details on the first post, and I guess maybe I just buried them instead, lol. I hate being the guy that looks like I tried to fix something for about 10 seconds, then expected to be hand held...

Been working on a Samurai with a low budget full hydro steering set up. Chevy full width 10b axle, currently open differentials front and rear, Fox 2x12 coilovers, 2x8 double ended Surplus center ram, non load reaction steering valve, stock Vitara 2.0L pump, running to factory steering arms on...
