This will lend to a factory geometry so as to eliminate the possibility of bump steer.
Interesting enough, the tie rod holes are actually SMALLER than the van tie rod studs. Not sure why they made the ball joints larger but then went with much smaller tie rod ends. Seems counterproductive to me. | | | Re: Western Chassis drop spindles VS G20 Shorty | Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 84 Likes: 11 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 84 Likes: 11 | | | | Re: Western Chassis drop spindles VS G20 Shorty | Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 84 Likes: 11 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 84 Likes: 11 | I had a "bump steer" on my 4X G30 and the fix for that was dual stabilizers... Do you have any pictures of the tie rods and the steering angles? | | | Re: Western Chassis drop spindles VS G20 Shorty | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | My 2 wheel I put dual stabilizers on just for better handling ...

I've had one since I bought the van new in1990. I just bought a new shock for it. They still have the stabilizer and replacement shock.. | | | Re: Western Chassis drop spindles VS G20 Shorty | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | My 2 wheel I put dual stabilizers on just for better handling ... are those a simple bolt in or some fabrication and welding is needed? No it wasnt a bolt up ...a single Lionhead says yes but my dual was a fab job.

My van handles fine, for a van, but i kinda like the idea. | | | Re: Western Chassis drop spindles VS G20 Shorty | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 513 Likes: 55 addict | addict Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 513 Likes: 55 | The trick is to use C10 spindles, Most important is wheel lug pattern and rotor thickness. Most sellers post a warning about the rotor thickness, it tells you which spindle you need. C10, G10,20 All share the same BJ's. It all comes down to the brakes. If you can send them back and get C10 it would save you alot of extra work. | | |
