[@gonewronggarage4565]

It’s very interesting seeing other peoples take on these

[@nickm2783]

this is a really good how to video thank you

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Just found your channel..good show

[@gonewronggarage4565]

I had rebuilt the steering box and replaced that bushing

[@lukeledden2275]

Nice 3rd gen camaro too ; ]

[@IngenGarage]

Yeah!

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Hey man I’ve built a few and I suggest you make a tie rod so you can adjust your toe and plus it’s just stronger and has no play I used 1/2-20 threaded rod and 1/2-20 thread 1/2” bore heim joints.

[@IngenGarage]

I might try that in the future, we'll see!

[@Justin-oe9fs]

Next time you weld something that thick grind a bevel into it it'll help with penitration so when you're going fast you're wheels don't fall off but you might have gotten some good penitration also do spot welds then weld fully so you don't warp it not trying to bash you just some helpful tips just a fella that was once in your shoes

[@IngenGarage]

Thanks dude! Useful information!

[@Justin-oe9fs]

@@IngenGarage fs I've made quite a few things

[@IngenGarage]

@@Justin-oe9fs Yeah!

[@MrMany2811]

Info on those bronze bushings?

[@IngenGarage]

Yeah I installed them on the front to try and make the spindle tighter but they ended up actually fitting worse after trying to mod them to make them fit, best thing to do is weld the sleeve in the axle so they will not move. I did that on my off-road lawnmower.

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Are those fishing lures on the wall

[@IngenGarage]

Yep! Mainly my brothers and step dads

[@greenmachine55]

Id upgrade to the better craftsman steering system or modify a go kart steering to work with the front axle

[@greenmachine55]

On top of that id do a poor mans power steering to help the steering turn really good on stock riding mower which is roller bearings on front axles

[@IngenGarage]

Yeah that is on my list because the 1st generation steering sucks butt to the extreme but later on I am going to find a way to do a rack in pinion conversion on this!

[@calebmendenhall1489]

could you have turned each spindle upside down raher than cut and weld

[@IngenGarage]

I assume probably not because then the wheel would be way too high and it might bottom out. Maybe if I lowered the front axle down to compensate, but this seems to work fine though.

[@dontworryaboutit8445]

You could have done a transaxle flip instead of the jackshaft

[@IngenGarage]

Maybe!

[@JohnWheels]

Great video! I posted a long comment with some good info, but in case you don't see it, sometimes comments don't show up on KZbin studio, because they're under the "held for review" category. If that's the case it's just because I have some links to some welders. I know I've missed comments on my channel in the past because of this so I just wanted to let you know.

[@IngenGarage]

Thanks for the info!

[@corey_lajoie_fan]

top speed??

[@IngenGarage]

Way it is right now with a 1:1 pulley ratio it is about 22mph (governor is bypassed)

[@nitrolover5088]

Hey
