[lukey4x4]

Hey guys so today i did my first 4x4 trial and really the sj propa test out , iit was a trial where they set out a corse in the forest with the canes n that u had to go through without reverseing or hitting them anyways really enjoyed it sj preformed really well got up every bank that most of the bigger 4x4 couldnt so was pleased there , my only downfall was my steering i have the vit box and my lock was horrendous to say the least that bad people were askin what was wrong wif it lol , so is there sumit i have done wrong ,or shud i have adjusted sumit as i just left it as i got it , or are vitaras turning circle crap to start with , any info be great , only pic i got but got some videos on dads phone , not sure how to post videos , thanks

Is it fitted with a wedge?

What size tyres are you running, is the lock bad because they catch the springs or does it just not turn enough?

I run a vit box and have full lock both ways.

Hey scottie yea have a wedge fitted am running 31/10.5/15 on 8j rims dont think it was hitting the springs just seemed like it didnt turn enough mate

It should turn to the point that one of the rear bolts on the knuckle seal retaining plate makes contact with the axle.

Can you get some good pics up showing how much lock you have each way.

[lukey4x4]

Thanks scottie will check that today and get some pics up mate

[lukey4x4]

Few pics scottie none of the bolts round the rear if seals touch the axle mate thats on full lock , thanks

[lukey4x4]

Anyone got any ideas does this look correct on full lock , thanks

[ScottieJ]

Can we have a few more pics of the whole steering set up at full lock both ways. there has to be something limiting it.

Photos of the pitman arm and steering damper may be handy. I guess you had a standard box before and know it isn't a different steering damper has been fitted and doesn't have enough travel?

Am at work now lads but will get a few more pics up first thing tomoz , yea it was just the std box i had befor now vit box with the wedge ,and z bari didnt put a steering damper back on as the pitman on the vit bix didnt have a bracket for one , thanks
