    k10 drag link steering question

    yep when she turned the wheel and I watched it with a tape mark at 9 o clock it's go to 12 for right, and to 6 for left before the pitman arm began to move and that's by feel with my hand on it. I tore it apart, centered the wheel, reinstalled drag link, no help still won't turn fully. I also...

    k10 drag link steering question

    the lift is new and from rough country it came with the raised arm for the axle but it's not tall enough and my last was the same, drag link is angled. Thing is dropped drag link is 70 and a 2.5 I think drop pitman is 130. As for ball joints, I don't see any play in them. I checked all that...

    k10 drag link steering question

    everyone tells me those drop down style drag links are junk or worthless but honestly I really think it needs it because it's on an angle now being flat factory style, ad I think it's binding. I just did a test on the ground running and off, turning the steering wheel while watching to see how...

    k10 drag link steering question

    also the drag link is on an angle after the lift, I've been considering one of those step down style drag links like rc has or a dropped down pitman arm to make the drag link I have flat.

    k10 drag link steering question

    OK guys I've fought steering issues with this k10 ever since I've got it. It acted like it had alot of play in it before, I adjusted the gear box a lil bit, changed to a cavalier steering wheel, seemed to help a lil. I then changed power steering pumps, keep squalling, tightened belt good got...

    block party.... The roof for what you see is finish filler'd, on the pass. side, some of the DS needs another coat and around the side and front of the sunroof needs work as well as some other areas on that side. I only filled and blocked with 80, plan to maybe go over with 120, 150 or 150...

    ppg says 7 days, this summit brand says 4, I know first hand though on the s10 I built I had to sand the same cured epoxy, same thing, gummed up and had lil hard like crystals or balls in the paper, and it actually scratched the finish badly, and I didn't notice until later. Also, I may know...

    it does, like on this hood it had pits everywhere and it helped fill those in. However after doing so today, filler over epoxy, never again. If you try to blend or feather edge the work it gets into the soft epoxy and gums paper badly it just balls up. So on the roof, I just ground it down in...

    well she's back on all 4's..... this escalated quickly... I'm amazed at it having rust under all the layers of paint on that pass. side rear and never showing any signs. I also wonder wtf were they doing with those straight line gouges in the roof around the sunroof? It's like it as a saw...

    I don't but I did see where something I was looking at said they'd fit many gm high back seats. Your's look to be more like the older TA one's or some call em horse collar type. I can tell you the backs on yours are like the deluxe firebird seats were they have the entire back plastic instead of...
