    Front axle identification for converted 69 FJ40

    Thanks for chiming in! It does have a 2.5" O. M. E . lift/shocks that's fairly new, steering feels tight. When I say "twitchy" I mean sensitive as all get out. Tracks straight with no pull. No shimmy or speed wobble, just literally have to keep my hand/arm resting on lap or ..? to limit...

    Front axle identification for converted 69 FJ40

    I'm sure this is very relevant to what I'm trying to discern, and maybe more so due to my saginaw power steering conversion, which is on the list to address because it's a quick ratio and is part of my twitchy steering I need to address.

    Front axle identification for converted 69 FJ40

    I recently purchased a 69 FJ40 and found this great site while learning about my new project. .It has a 350 w a 700R4 auto, 2.5" Ol Man Emu lift, power steering, power disc brakes all around and a number of unfinished fixes, one of which I'll discuss here. First thing I had to do was fix a leak...
