ORIGINAL: Makurai

I've got manual steering, converted from the original power steering, so I still have the 16:1 ratio box. Love the ratio, but it's a really hard turn at low speeds. I'm going for a four-point upgrade in the coming days:

1- Roller Idler Arm (95$)
2- Roller Spring Perches (180$)
3- 1 1/8 Front Sway Bar (forgot how much this was, check the website)
4- New Alignment

All this as recommended by John at Open Tracker Racing Products. I'll update when it's done, let you know how much of a difference it makes.
Concur.... also, consider getting a freshly rebuilt steering box instead of the high dollar flaming river new box. New old style components will work really well.

I bought a manual rack and pinon from flaming river and it is awesome. it handles tight fells good. When i need to turn it turns.
