It would seem we can not leave great alone - and have improved our Dana 60 Arms again!
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.
** 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.
- 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!
- Grease Zerk Fitting for easy Kingpin lubrication.
- Tapered For Tie Rod Ends or Drilled For 3/4" Heims at no extra cost.
- 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...
