URF knuckle conversion

[Bryan C.]

Got some polishing done on my D30 this weekend courtesey of URF racing. WJ knuckles, raised panhard bar mount, custom adjustable panhard bar, and link steering with heims. I didn't take too many pics, and I got some minor issues to deal with still, mostly bolt issues. Overall I'm really impressed with the road feel and tighter steering. The braking is improved, but requires slightly more pedal travel due to the larger calipers.

Before: notice the bent currie tie-rod.

After: safety red paint sure brightens it up under there. :sunshine:

I want to thank Andy and Jes down at URF for all the hard work they put into my rig this weekend. I owe both you guys big time.

hey, your currie tie rod looks just like mine

Looks nice. Looks like you have plenty of clearance between your rod ends and the tire.

Is your tie rod above the middle of the axle tube? It looks like you have an RE frame end on your panhard, but a rod end at the axle. Right? Is that to pull the axle bracket in more for clearance?

 

[Matt S.]

Nice. Very nice.

My original RE track bar got bent and the axle end bushing was toast too. Andy had the idea to use the heim at the axle end and use the freshly rebuilt RE joint at the other end of it.

As a result of this weekend, I have a new rule:

No tequila shots after 10pm. Even if it's Senor Julio.

looks nice man.

the tequilla season has just begun, Fecko Last time I drank tequilla with Jes, I made great, wretched echo's off the granite bowl surrounding Barret Lake. Rough drive out that next day, if I do recall.
