94 Ranger 2wd Front Suspension Help

[eloyc]

Alright so I finished rebuilding my front end suspension, quadruple checked everything. Something still is wrong. I changed out, axle pivot bushings, radius axle bushes, front inner and outer tie rods, sway bar bushings, sway bar links, upper and lower ball joints, shocks, rotors and bearings and brake pads. The wheels are turning inward super wonky. I took a quick look nothing seemed off, but I will be taking a deeper look soon, any advice on where to start would be much appreciated. I did take a video but still figuring out how to upload it. Thank you

Did ya torque all those bushings up with the suspension dangling?

Most times you final torque that stuff with the vehicle weight on it.

Set it on the ground and bounce it to settle things in.

1) Did you count and match the turns on the tierods when you replaced them? If not they could be a fair bit out of adjustment. Even if you did, they could still be a fair bit out of adjustment and need and alignment.

2) See how it looks with weight on the suspension before you stress too much. Put the tires on, set it on the ground, and roll it back and forth a bit to settle. One of the negatives to the TIB style suspension is how much it affects the camber and toe during articulation. At the extremes of articulation like that it can have a very noticable affect on the toe.

Driving Video

This is the video of me driving it with weight on it, to me it looks to off to just be alignment but I could be wrong.

I wasn't able to match turns as the old one was too stuck together but I was able to line it up and get the new one identical to spot on, added video of me driving and what the wheels are doing even with steering wheel straight

I looks bound up.

So you did tighten everything up with the suspension dangling...

Would I need to loosen everything with tires on and re tighten?

Uh huh...
