I recently started my sas on my 95 4Runner and im having an "issue" my body will (move, tilt, rock) left and right as i turn my wheel left to right. i had a local mechanic tell me that my springs are on backward (tg 3") because my axle is so far forward. he is also concerned because the drag link isnt straight (its not parallel with the tie rod). He said that my steering box would "cam over" and bind up.
My question is.
1. What makes the body rock?
2. Is there an issue with the drag link not being parallel with the tie rod?
3. Should I be concerned about the steering "locking up"

I really didn't see an issue with anything. But he has made me doubt myself. I did search but I only have my android. It's to hard to search in depth.

 

He sounds like he isn't a part of the off-road/off-road fab world, I wouldn't take his advice on a custom setup. It rocks because you've got big tires, and soft springs. The axle is pushing back at the steering when you rock the wheel. ALL cars do this, it's just more noticeable in a soft leaf sprung truck. Your steering box isn't going to cam over unless it's WAY too far forward, and I've yet to see someone do that on a stock bodied truck. Getting the drag link parallel with the tierod and having them not hit eachother or the steering arms is very difficult to do. That's why the general rule is just get the box as far forward as you can to prevent them binding.

 

Thanks. I really didn't think anything was wrong. But when someone starts to talk..... well anyway thanks for the reply.
