Steering Box lock

[pebbles]

and ive read a couple of things in threads about them being very easy to get massive amounts of lock from, i already have a fair bit of lock stock, but more couldnt hurt
so could someone tell me how to get mroe from it?
cheers

Cut your lock stoppers off with an angle grinder (little tab sorta thing on your LCA's, have a look)

That's about all you can do unless you convert to an AE86 strut, and then use AE86 power steering arms.

there the same arms as a ke55 on your lca its a rectangular bump just cut it off or get some sigma arms!

mare track will help increase lock! i think

Steering box = infinite lock until you hit LCA/Rail

Incorrect.

Steering boxes do provide the possibility for copious amounts of lock, but it is not infinite.

However you will be hitting your LCA's / Chassis before you run out of lock from the box itself.

i had a look, and i can see the stoppers, just gota borrow sum1's angle grinder now

[Blood Child]

you may want to install some diy stoppers just to make sure you don't lock it too far...

Yeah i have troubles with my te72 eating tyres when i put it on full lock, make sure that when it is on full lock its not scrubbing or anything...

like chassis rails :lol:

[stefan]

wat bout the bold on the steering arm?that would give less lock

[ae71]

yes slippry, on some they can be wound in so that it doesn't hit on full lock.

But the real limit is the chassis rails on Justins t-18, with neg offset it still hits because there is nothing it stop it from keeping tuning. the lock stops on the steering arms/ lca have been removed.

I will be making up some adjustable stops when i put my sigma's in, if you need advice on this grape_moosha let me know

[stefan]

sigma arms dont work well coz the taper on the ball joint dosnt fit well at all and it will just wear out your steering arm!

so to do it right get the taper lathed down so it will fit

the taper is same just thicker

and you have to cut down crush tube and bush!
