https://tube.dirt.social/videos/watch/a62e5612-0874-465f-904d-f32df41c86bc Three regular videos folks! I was gone for a while there, but I'm back in the garage working on the Dana 60 swap. This time I'm building the mount for full hydraulic steering, and redoing the 3-link arms that I already messed up once. After the geometry frustrations from part 2, I moved the front axle forward slightly to fix the coilover angle, which meant the first set of links I welded up were four inches too short. That's on me. This video covers the hydro steering ram mount fabrication, tacking that bracket onto the truss and axle tube, and remaking the links the right way this time (tack first, check fitment, then finish weld). Still ahead: figuring out where the track bar (panhard bar) mount actually goes now that the axle's moved, and finishing off the upper coilover towers.
