Re: LN106 hilux steering issue
I would be bracing your shackles at that length too, either weld in some steel or drill them and run a bolt through a crush tube, this will remove any lateral/sideways movement in the shackle that could let your diff move out of square which could also have an impact on your steering

When you shortened up your drag link did you ensure your steering box was centred? Also with the lift you have are the ball joints on the ends of the draglink binding at all, they could be catching and preventing the steering returning, highly unlikely though.

Re: LN106 hilux steering issue

Re: Recovery point help
If you had made your 50 x 25 blocks longer so it was that section that was bolted directly to the chassis and then you other bar work welded of that. With a piece of 50 x 3 flat bar on the other side to sandwich the chassis rail would be better, even better would be steel either side of chassis rail...

Do these have a kick down cable? Perhaps too much line pressure is causing the harsher changes?
