Steering geometry
« on: September 09, 2005, 01:21:26 pm »
I am after some help with  ground clearance problems  on my '66 coupe which I had converted to RHD.
The drag link connection at the idler arm is 90mm off the ground and does'nt comply with engineer's certification requirements of minimum 4" (105mm) ground clearance.
I used an XF Falcon power steering box and pitman arm with the original Mustang drag link and idler arm but although
everything is straight and parrallel to the ground the issue with clearance is a major problem.
Is there a different drag link and idler arm that would suit?
There is plenty of clearance for the drag link under the sump (about 40mm) so I could raise everything up and fix the ground clearance problem at the other end.
