I am making my drag link today but I am running into some problems or it may be I just dont understand it. I have hi steer on a full width chevy axle and it is on a flatfender. the box is a siginaw 76. I am getting different measurements between L & R lock. With the box locked and axle locked I get these measurements:
Straight 33.75"
Right turn 33.75" 1.5-1.75 turns to center on wheel
Left turn 35.25" 1.125 turns to center on wheel
The average of these is 34.5" but using this as my drag link measurement results in -1/4 turn from left (axle locked but box not locked) and -1/2 turn from right (axle locked but box not locked) This reduces the turning to about 2.75 turns lock to lock.
I dont get it? Does the box need to be locked one way for the same way on the axle to be locked?? I am running a hydro ram with this if it matters. Thanks for the help.
