I have a 98 TF rodeo and its currently running around 3 inches of lift at the front end, ive noticed that the steering links that run from the main centre bar to the wheel hubs are now at quite an extreme angle and the ball joints definitely arent looking happy as theyre mounted on the bottom side of the lug on the hub, and when im off roading there seems to be a fair bit of bump steer going on and im guessing this is due to the extreme angle of the steering arms?
My question is has anyone ever relocated the joint to the top? Im thinking of getting a suitable size chrome molly rose joint with a matching thread to the existing steering shaft where the ball joint comes from, then drilling the taper out of the lug on the hub assembly where the ball joint used to mount, then bolting a rose joint on the top side, the rose joint should provide enough flex and help flatten out the steering arms at the same time and help with bump steer? Does anyone think this would help? Im also thinking of retro fitting a RTC steering damper to also assist with the off road handling.
