These steering arms are designed for
custom steering applications where it is necessary to move the tie-rod
to the rear of the axle. This is often necessary on such vehicles as
Chevy trucks and Jeeps where the steering box location has not been
moved forward. In these applications, interference can occur using a
standard “high-steer” setup. Some applications where these arms fit
great are: Jeep CJ, Jeep YJ, 73-87 Chevy, or Toyota mini truck.
These arms fit kingpin style Dana 60 front axles. They are designed to
slip over the existing sheetmetal kingpin caps. They are also designed
to be held down with studs and tapered nuts. We do NOT suggest using
bolts. If your axle already has 4 studs and tapered nuts holding the
factory drivers side steering arm down, you may re-use those. In that
case, you will only need to purchase one stud kit for the passenger
side.
The tie-rod holes are tapered to fit large Chevy tie-rod ends.
(ES2234R, ES2233L, ES2010L, ES2010R, EX2234R, EX2234L) The draglink
hole is tapered to fit large, double pivot, Chevy draglink ends.
(ES2026R, ES2027L, ES2027R) A 10 degree angle is also machined into the
end of the arms.
Remember, you will need two factory sheet metal kingpin caps. Be sure
to purchase an extra cap if you are removing a factory steering arm on
the drivers side.
WARNING: This is a
custom set-up. The arms will fit both high pinion and
low pinion applications. However, they may interfere with
some factory shock locations, as well as after market deep-dish
oil pans. If your front leaf springs are arched 8"
or more, the tie-rod may not clear the leaf springs.
