[QUOTE="crash2, post: 824974, member: 15940"] Ok the time has finally come to make the thing fully rollable so I can do a few more rigs. So I removed the front housing and finaished cleaning it up and threw it back under the rig. One thing I wanted to so was go ahead and do the 5th stud modification to the steering arm/knuckle. Here you can see the area thats best suited for the 5th stud. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack91.jpg[/IMG] There is casting flashing on the knuckle that has to be removed and make somewhat of a flat platform. The area also just below where the arm sits has a slight radius to it. So I like to remove that area (There is plenty of material down in the knucle so you won't compromize the strength of the knuckle). [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack92.jpg[/IMG] So then you want to go ahead and set the knuckle bearing preload (15 inch pounds) so that you have the arm height set that way. So once that was done I started to make the tabs. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack93.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
