Hi all,
Have had my HJ60 solid axle for about a year and love daily driving it. Its the first solid axle vehicle that I have driven a decent amount of times. I have rebuilt the swivel hubs and replaced steering joints and shocks and adjusted up the steering and it feels great, nice and tight
An interesting observation I have made is that when going over a bump or round a corner or the likes. The front axle moves independently from the rest of the car (as it should) but I can feel that then the axle moves away from the chassis it must pull on the steering linkage a little and essentially turn the wheels a tiny bit, because the steering box is staying put on the chassis but the axle moves away so therefore it pulls on the steering knuckle and pull steers the wheels a little.
It's sort of hard to explain, anyway.
Is this a thing, is is a solid axle thing?
I've never felt it on a ifs car.
Or is there Likley to be some other issue with the car.
The pull is not big, it is quite small but big enough to Warrant a correction.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this as a little soild axle nuance.
Thanks
