Jacko.
Now I know everyone's thoughts on dealer mechanics.
But. I rang one before to get them to try explain why the diffs not inline with wheels.
He told me when the cars on the hoist the wheels will just hang n drop wherever n hang of the cv making it look like a bad angle.
Said once cars on the ground with the weight on it it will go back to normal
Yeah that's right , imagine this you are driving on a track , uneven ground turning on a tight full lock turn , plenty of those out there ever been on Trig Track , 12 switch back turns in , I dunno half a K maybe .
One wheel on a bit of a high spot the other in a bit of a hole , wheels turned , what's the angle on the CV now , I will tell you it's at breaking point ,
Anyway today I have been turning circles , right full lock turn = a 13 metre circle
Left full lock = a 12.6 metre circle
After a bit of home made adjustment my turning circle is 14 metres , is that enough to save the CV's , I don't know , I bloody hope so , time will tell
gmax what ya say we get together and spend a day in the bush , can I drive your Ute up Trig Track ?
