1st Gen S10 BD/Steering

Ive ran into a little scenerio with my s dizzle, and i havent heard of anyone else running into this problem excpet for on fullsize chevys

i BD my truck 3.5 traditional and as u can see in the picture, my steering smacks the shit out of my upper c arm and my exhaust manifold. Is there some sort of way i can use u joints to help get around it or what?

You could modify your control arms!

Ya i was thinking about that, but i thought i would hear other possible solutions before hackin away. Plus it hits my exhaust manifold as well.

its wierd cuz i never here of anyone running into this problem on the 1st gens, let alone any s10's...unless it was a HUGE bd

ive heard of this on the 88-98 fullsize chevys/GMC's

any info would be wicked awesome

ahhhhhh that lil problemo ,, mine is 3.5" aswell i modified the spring closest to the firewall and put in a shorter bolt for the exhaust aswell trimmed a lil off of that flange mount ,, my control arm does hit it when layd fully out but does not put intense pressure on it if you trim that stuff up,leave the arm ,, you will find you can mob that fucker straighter then a arrow barley off the ground for ever with out touching the steering wheel cuz it sorta holds it in position


auto pilot

ditch the huge factory knuckle and get a smaller swivel. i would just make a new steering shaft useing flaming rivers u joints and such. look them up at jegs or summit. that would do the trick. but as far as it rubbing on the manifold.... im not sure. it cleared my4.3tbi. what engine do you have?

its a 4.3 i guess i bodydropped it wrong and thats why its hitting hahahaa


but thanks for that idea dood

my shitz only a 2.8 remove that cover on youre knuckle thing,, its ?????added money to there sell?? im not saying any day like \quick like but i will take a few pics of mine when i take it out of my storage unit!! yeah Oregon rokz4 our scene lol (hence i need a in cab heater from vintage)but none the less ,,, man its done!!!has ben! i dunno if it helps i have the 2.8 done up a lil but i wouldnt think that there is too much differance on the manifold exhaust..
