    My friend flipped the mounting point on my new balljoints to fix the angle at such a low ride height. Hopefully this helps with bumpsteer.

    Rebuilt the drivers side front suspension today. Poly bushings in the lca's, and tension rods. New swaybar bushings, new upper and lower balljoints with the outer tie rod mount flipped to fix bumpsteer.

    What’s an S-Dad mod? Seen many posts about it but they’re so old that the Photobucket pix don’t work. My friend @BVita is looking for a 3” drop on his 1st Gen mini taco with this mod.

    Lmao. You swap in prerunner/4wd leafs then remove one from the pack to achieve a drop.

    Here's the tie rod angle change with the modified balljoints. Should make a huge difference!

    Hey, how does it ride after replacing all the bushings, BJ/LBJ and tie rods? I need to do this too and I don't want to be totally let down when my ride quality doesn't improve like I am wanting it to! I know you're lowered on coilovers and I'm stock height on springs but I imagine that the improvements would be similar - tighter, firmer, more stable and more controlled?

    It's pretty hard to compare to a stock truck since I replaced every bushing with polyurethane bushings. But if you're suspension components have excessive play in them then replacing them with all new parts is definitely going to tighten things up. Is it going to be a night and day difference? I cant guarantee that, but also dont underestimate the change a good set of shocks can make.

    Thanks man. I have KYBs and they're pretty firm but I do feel like the rest of the suspension is sloppy and will definitely benefit from new bushings, joints and rods. I think I prefer rubber though over poly. Getting old I guess...

    Edit - I do like the way KYBs ride though, original springs are probably shot though.
