Savage steering mod
Hey guys,
Just finished deanodizing all the ugly purple aluminum parts on my truck, btw it looks great, but i figured while i have my truck apart id try out the steering mod i have heard a little about. The steering throw on the truck is just not enough, it takes almost an entire two-way road to turn it around. Now i heard that you have to shave some of the c-hub, knuckle, and diff housing, am i correct? It'd be great if any of you guys have pictures explaining the steps in the mod or have any knowledge about it. I'm hoping to get my truck back together tonight so i can drive it tomorrow, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Um, it DOES, why else do this mod?
I am curious...Does anyone know of this needs to be done with GPM aluminum carriers and uprights, or is it even possible? I plan on getting those, but I want tighter turning even more.

When you say the exact same thing in a dickish way that ThunderbirdJunkie did over 12 months ago, yes, there is.
Welcome to RCU btw. ThunderbirdJunkie is not always an A-hole.
