That was what did the trick for me any way...this helps the splayed flange at the pinnion to clear. Also, if you have the 3-link setup, you can try adjusting the top bar to change the pinnion angle around, just mark it first so you can get it back to normal easily.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 09, 2006, 03:09 PM: Message edited by: Rickster ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>5OHS5OH</b> <br /><small>Member # 4665</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,1,9,17,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> +1 for the Concord shop <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
