I installed the rag joint eliminator a while ago and I noticed my steering wheel points about 20-25* to the left when going straight after its install. I also have installed new balljoints, LS1 brakes, shocks/springs and tie rod ends right before it so I am going to take it in for an alignment tomorrow. Do you think they will be able to fix this issue or is my eliminator defective?

Maybe your old ragjoint was defective? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Or your new tie rod ends aren't the same length as the old ones, like Mark said.
There's not much to to one of these solid disks that eliminate the ragjoint: as long as the 4 holes are drilled at 90 degrees to each other, I don't see much else that can be wrong with them. See if the shop runs out of thread on the tie rods during the alignment--that's going to be limiting factor. If that's the case and the eliminator is fine, maybe your whole rack is off, or a tie rod is bent, or one of the new tie rod ends is iffy? -- Black [-----] LT1 twin turbo This post has been edited by maddrtwinkletoes: May 18 2006, 07:52 PM |
