Cross steering lessons with Unisteer

Lesson 1 is to have the cross steer drag link and the panhard bar of equal length. Because the spindle steering arm on the p-side is beyond where the panhard bar can connect to the axle, the frame mount for the panhard bar is further to the d-side than the drag link's connection to the steering box. The two bars should still be of equal length and parallel. Lesson 2 is to have the joints on the d-side the same height above the ground when the vehicle is at rest. Lesson 3 is to have the joints on the p-side the same height above the ground. Lessons 2 and 3 are VITAL to prevent spooky handling with bumps and with undulations in the road surface. There may be some minor slack with Lesson 1, however with the Unisteer rack being relatively long, the drag link length is shorter than with a Vega or Ford box with a pitman arm. I found the need for exact equality. I hope this helps people who may have mysterious bump steer and roll steer behavior with cross steering and early Ford solid axles. |
