Black Diamond Suspension Lift .
Q.I installed my Black Diamond 3 in. suspension lift. I took it for alignment per the warranty/instructions. STS told me they could not get the caster adjusted correctly because the lower control arms/trailing links were not long enough. The left caster is currently 4.7 degrees and the right caster is 5.0 degrees. Based on the measurements on their machine the axle needs to go forward, and that's not possible with the OEM lower links. Anyone else with this problem? Suggestions? I think the problem is primarily the boot interfering with the gear shifter. The mech at STS said I could get something to correct the shift linkage. Anyone know what or where to get it?
A.For some reason my gut was telling me front trackbar. I'm not sure why, but that's what my gut is/was saying. On this particular lift you are supposed to drill a new hole 3/4" to the right (center-to-center) of the original, then reinstall the OEM track bar. I found that Black Diamond also sells an adjustable front track bar that utilizes the OEM mounting location. I am wondering if this will solve my problem. I checked everything with a torque wrench. Per the instructions the relocated track bar should be 55 ft/lbs. Three times I've taken the torque wrench to it and all three times it clicked before the bolt moved. An adjustable track bar won't make any difference. A loose track bar is a loose track bar. You can make the setup you've got work just fine. It's use is to fine tune the centering of the axle. If you have a partner, get them to crank the steering wheel left to right and watch the bar for looseness. You might want to boost the ft. lbs. up a touch to 60 or so, but not too much or you'll twist the bolt in half.
