Predeterminado Steering Rod

David, Puedes explayarte un poco mas? Es la barra de dirección? esto encontré..

Steering . . . Even in stock form, the TTB Ford steering seems somewhat vague. On an off-camber or less than ideal driving surface, it takes continuous corrective steering input to keep a Ford pointed straight ahead. These inherent tendencies are magnified when the vehicle is raised. When addressing this on a lifted vehicle, there are two areas of concern:

1) Minimizing tie rod angles

2) Keeping the tie rods arc of movement in phase with the axle halves arc of movement.


On the TTB Ford, these two factors "make or break" driveability. When incorrect, it will cause excessive toe-in\toe-out variations, as the suspension travels, resulting in the TTB Ford version of "bump-steer".

A "dropped" pitman arm alone which reduces some of the additional angle created by the lift and Superunner replacement linkage system (By Superlift) is recommended. Using the Superunner linkage in addition to the pitman arm addresses both problems. Use of a centerlink lowers the pivot point of the tie rods closer to the axle halves pivot point and allows the use of new tie rods that are proportional in length to the axle halves. The result is steering linkage that is in almost perfect phase with the suspension, yielding optimum steering response.

In summary . . . on most lifted TTB Fords, installing dropped pitman arm will result in satisfactory steering characteristics. With the Superunner upgrade though, steering traits will be noticeably improved.
