Calmini Heavy Duty Replacement Steering System

[jetterberg]

HEy guys,

I Have a 3inch suspension lift and 2inch bodylift on 33's and i have had the truck for 8mnths and have already replaced hd tie rods, idler arm and draglink because the ball joints were flogged out now have just noticing some play in the tie rods and draglink,took it apart and have about 4mm play in the draglink ball joint and my left side tie rods are shot again. found this animation on the net which is probably the cause of the ball joints going.

so my question is. Is anyone running this set up from Calmimi?

It is expensive but if it stops the draglink from twisting up and putting less stress on the other parts surely should be a no brainer yeah? or am i missing something?

cheers

Good luck with that. There was a thread on here not long ago about it. Someone got onto them to ask about making a right hand drive version again, which they said they'd happily do for something like 50 pre paid orders... I'll see if I can find the thread. ...
