Ok the time has finally come to make the thing fully rollable so I can do a few more rigs. So I removed the front housing and finaished cleaning it up and threw it back under the rig. One thing I wanted to so was go ahead and do the 5th stud modification to the steering arm/knuckle.

 

Here you can see the area thats best suited for the 5th stud.

 

 

There is casting flashing on the knuckle that has to be removed and make somewhat of a flat platform. The area also just below where the arm sits has a slight radius to it. So I like to remove that area (There is plenty of material down in the knucle so you won't compromize the strength of the knuckle).

 

 

So then you want to go ahead and set the knuckle bearing preload (15 inch pounds) so that you have the arm height set that way.  So once that was done I started to make the tabs.
