Default Re: Making an A axle steer easier

First off, you have done a beautiful job on your creation. I appreciate your creativity.

Steer easier? Lub the crap out of it, test with the weight removed from the wheels to find out if the king pin thrust bearings are doing their job, weight back on it, remove the tie rod to test if the problem is in the left or right side, remove the drag link to see if in the gear or front axle, etc.

I'm going to assume you have done all that and it still steers hard. Model As don't have power steering! Try not to fight it, and only turn the steering wheel when the car, tractor, er, eh, "vehicle" is moving, this will help. You could go to easy steer, or the F100 steering box.

Good luck, I can see you are having fun, more power to you!
