My WICKED set of Steering Articles

Article #1: Research	All the research, theory, part numbers, applications, pics and links you need to design your own custom Hy Steer steering, or just to decide what to buy

Article #2: My Steering Version 1	See me make D44 steering arms, fab linkage, and give details on tubing sizes, rod ends, and more. Also see what didn't work.

Article #3: My Steering Version 2	See me butcher things. Version 1 didn't work perfectly so I made it worse. A lesson in what NOT to do

Article #4: My Steering Version 3	From bad to worse - see me bend and brake this poor design. More of what didn't work

Article #5: My Steering Version 4	See me figure it all out, actually build something that works and return to good old fashioned Tie Rod Ends

Article #6: My Hybrid axle	See how I created a Hybrid D30 / D44 front axle in my Jeep to retain the high pinion high clearance RR D30, the $$ I had invested in gears and locker, but add D44 outers for manual lockouts, bigger brakes and ball joints, and Hy Steer custom crossover steering.

Acknowledgements:

This kind of hard core back yard built guerilla tech doesn't come easy. It took dozens of hours of research and planning (OK - a couple anyway), and most importantly took the expert and generous help of the following individuals:

Paul Weitlauf
John Nutter
Charly
H8Monday
Jeff Ayers
Coby Hughy
Steven J Meyer
Ron Hollatz
Erik Bibelheimer
Old Scout
Doc Nickel

And all the rest of the gang at POR, NAXJA, MADXJ, XJDigest, and JPOR
