Redrill your balls, much better than castor corrected arms!

ahem, i beg your pardon!

Yes i have often thought about this as it keeps the prop at a better angle too. but how? im assuming they would become slots rather than actual new holes? ive got access to most machinery.

BigSi:
It doesn’t drive too bad on road, but you do have to tweak the steering a few times!

I don’t think there is any thing to drill? The whole arm is bent more on one end, and rotates up ward more on the other (fixes to axle). You could probably get away without them on a 2” lift, but with the 4” lift I don’t want to put any strain on any other parts.

I’ve heard a few reports about welds cracking on the QT ones, just wanted to know what else was out there?

Tommo:
no on the swivel balls!

You need to have the original holes welded up after putting an index mark on the flange, mount on a rotary table on a mill and add/subtract the offset required, drill, rotate to next location, drill etc etc...
