D60 steering arms with tie rod behind kingpins...

[Zeus33rd]

I think I've found the solution to running hi-steer with the front 52" springs/relocated axle. Check out these arms from WFO..

Those are the "Standard" arms he makes.

Check out these "heavy duty" arms..

These arms are built to the same dimensions as the standard double arms. However, they do not use the standard Kingpin cap and spring. With large tires, such as 44's, the Kingpin spring tends to deflect.

These arms elliminate the need for a spring, and come with a pack of shims. The bearing pre load is adjusted by adding or removing shims.

These arms require periodic maintenance, do to the fact shims must be added as the teflon upper bushing wears

I'm positive I'll go with these arms, but not sure weather to get the heavy duty ones.. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif Anyone have any input on the idea of eliminating the kingpin springs?

i run his normal arms (double passanger, single driver) and I'm not sure eliminating the kingpin springs on a DD rig is the best of ideas... so I went with the arms he has the retains them. I haven't relocated my tierod yet, but I will. Be pretty cool to have it REALLY out of the way. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

there is a guy on pirate that makes fabricated knuckles that elimiate the upper kingpin bushing and replaces it with a bearing.

Will the ORD hi-steer set up not clear not clear 52" springs????

its not the springs it won't clear its the draglink, with 52s the axle is pushed forward 2" and the draglink would hit the tierod.
