Hydro Assist, Custom steering and first drive of the Solid axle swapped S10!
In this video we do a steering box swap to the Astro van gear box. We drill, tap and install the DIY4X hydro assist steering box cap. Install a grand Wagoneer pitman arm and wrap up the custom steering. I go for a first test drive and have to fix the wondering front end by adjusting the caster. We are getting super close to hitting the trail with this truck!

Ditch that rag joint and put a jeep steering shaft in it. Made the steering feel so much better having a u joint instead of the rag joint
I had a old cj7 that wandered and got super squirrelly on the road, shimmed the front end to get positive camber and changed my life haha.
Dang. You gave that thing grocery cart caster. Good thing the hydro assist was there to not let you death wobble into the nearest tree.

Yup, especially with big tires. Once I flex out the front to full droop and check my pinion angle. I will see if the driveshaft can take a few more degrees.
Thanks for putting the part numbers and model years for the box and pitman arm. Forums leave me with more questions than answers when I go down the “Astro box” rabbit hole haha That thing looks sick, make me want to front axle swap something 😂

I usually try setting my caster at 5-6deg that 3deg seems a little short.

It is a 5 degrees, I want a little more but I am constrained by my front driveshaft and pinion angle.

What brake master cylinder are you using s10 or a 1ton

Stock master, with the abs module removed. Could be better, but stops just fine. So I haven’t messed with it.
Kelly are you going to build a double sheer on the pitman arm? I would if have the room to do so.
@MuddyBeards4X4
Жыл бұрын
Not right now, maybe in the future. The ram is going to take up a lot of the force. If I had no hydro assist I wouldn’t do it without double sheering the pitman arm.
Should of went with electric power steering with a manual box.
