First SOA on fj60, I had the front axle cut and turned 8 deg., giving me a 13 deg. Pinion and 5 deg. Castor.
I have read a lot of threads that claim you need to place the entire weight of the vehicle on the axle prior to setting angles and welding perches. Is this really necessary? What if anything is going to change in regard to welding perches at 0 deg.? My feeble little brain tells me that setting the angles on the bench and welding the perches would obviously be easier and can’t see what the vehicle weight is going to change. There must be something I’m overlooking. Any feedback would be great, I plan on welding perches ASAP.
