Great info, thank you.  I know that was probably the answer all along but if it's not worth doing right it's not worth doing!  I will play around with the tie rod length. 

Thank you

BTW,I cheat at this and use performance trends suspension analyzer.

BTW,I would experiment on the tie rod length and the outer mount clocking and length till I had all the bumpsteer gone or at the very least had a max of 1/2".  It is well worth the effort.

I took another look at it. I would relocate the outer tie rod mount on the knuckle. IMO,it is the best ,by far,option and ,of course,the most work. I do not like the relocating of the inner as you indicate. I see it putting a much larger axial twist  to the rack itself which are not all that great in the first place against that wear and tear. Bottom line the only way I would take is relocating the outer tie rod mount.

Thanks to @BrianN for getting me in contact with his brother Barry.  WOW Barry does some NICE work!!!  The Jackson arm is fixed and braced on both arms.  It was determined thanks to Harkins, that a side horizontal load break occurred, not a vertical break like you would of thought. 

During test fitting the arm and now rebuilding the shocks with new shafts I realized I have a crap ton of BUMP STEER!   beathorse.gif~c200 beathorse.gif~c200


The previous owner had upgraded to 2" hollow's with new spindles/hubs etc.  During that swap the an abundance of bump steer was created.  This was the result of the new spindles not utilizing the correct location of the tierod.  The original combo spindles designed from Jackson had the correct geometry, however I do not have these to compare to.  Short of hacking off the current tierod mount on the spindle and moving the mounting point upward risking the tierod mount VERY close to the wheel.  What about a dropped heim separator/spreader fabricated to use on the Howe steering rack?  Would a  drop of 1 1/4" to 1 3/8" on the Howe rack put more stress/cause premature failure on the Howe rack or stay away from this idea?  Suggestions?  Ideas?

I am impressed that the 2d didn't grenade with what they did to it.  I know he says its having issues shifting so its on its way out but still, you should see some previous videos  :m.  They are having fun for sure.

i have followed these guys a little bit and only pertaining to the razzle dazzle sand car. they can build engines no doubt but they lack some basic fundamentals on suspension design and no idea where they are getting their info on those trans.  this sequential up grade video is entertaining for sure. will be interesting to see how that rear end works out. not just because they are running 930's and proposing to turn it up to 700 hp but also because the pivot points were off a fair bit before the new trans. they really need to add some frame work to protect that trans too!




But ,but,but,he said it was dialed.

Reasonably  humble considering what he has it would appear. I like that.
