: NWF - Dana 60 Arms - Ackerman Geometry - Clears H1's - Raised - Lower Price -

It would seem we can not leave great alone - and have improved our Dana 60 Arms again!

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/NEWd60arm1.jpg

We can safetly say that they are the most feature packed D60 Steering Arms available. Our Key features include:


- Ackerman Steering Geometry. These are the first foreward facing arms that correct steering geometry. Current standard D60 arms on the market today cause an inconsistent change in each tires turning radii. The direct result is the outside tire 'scrubbing' along the ground when a corner is navigated. The corrected geometry built into our arms results in tires tracking smoothly and greater traction.

Here is a picture illustrating Ackerman steering geometry. Note how the outer and inner wheel are consistently perpindicular to the line drawn from the center of the turning radius.

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/ackerman.png
** These arms do not place the tie-rod behind axle as illustrated in picture **

While having this geometry, we are still able to clear a H1 / HMMWV Rim Mounted On Single Rear Wheel Hubs.

- Kingpin Spring is eliminated as a preload system is integrated into the billet steering arm body.

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/NEWd60arm2.jpg

- Geometry adjusted for steering and kingpin Axis Inclination Angle - Resulting in a perfectly paralell surface between arms.

- They are the only Dana 60 arms that are raised for leafpack clearance!

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/d60side.JPG

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/d60side2.JPG

- Grease Zerk Fitting for easy Kingpin lubrication.

- Tapered For Tie Rod Ends or Drilled For 3/4" Heims at no extra cost.

http://www.northwestfab.com/images/steering/NEWd60arm3.jpg

- 5th and 6th Hole compatablility for Aftermarket Dedenbear/Reid Racing Knuckles.

- Strong! - 1.5" Thick at the knuckle mounting surface.

- 100% CNC'd from Billet Steel.

Even with the upgrades, we have shaved $20 off per arm . These new D60 arms are...
$149 ea.

We offer these in a complete CROSSOVER and HIGH-STEER kit. (http://www.northwestfab.com/complete60kit.html)

To order - drop us a line at the shop - always happy to take orders or help.

What is the distance from the KP centerline to the drag link hole? on the PS arms?

You would want to use our double passenger arm system, keeps the ackerman in check. We will be releasing them in the next few weeks once we get the standards all loaded up on the web.

8" From KP center to DL hole.

Are you offering a pitman with a similar (length) radius?

I had some issues getting full angles out of my D60, and ended up matching the pitman (WJ) with the highsteer arm (PSC)

At 8" I would hard pressed to find an OE pitman that would work... unless I go with a "Swingset" style linkage system.

Or am I missing something?:confused:

We designed the length to accomodate the throw of fullsize saginaw boxes, but if you need a hole at a different dimension just let us know.

When will you have a set of highsteer arms for a '86+ Ford Kingpin 60 in stock?
And can I get one of the holes in the passenger side arm tapered for the following TRE's?


TRE, High Angle Drag Link, ES2027

This is a GM 1 Ton Tie Rod End made specifically for use as a Draglink. The Draglink TRE will travel farther than a Standard TRE.

The Draglink TRE has a slightly larger taper than a Standard TRE, .795" vs .749" so the taper must be deeper for the Draglink.

If so how much for a set of arms with arp studs and hardware?
Thanks.
