Can somone measure something for me.
« on: December 04, 2008, 03:25:37 PM »
If you have a tj with a Dana 30 and you know that your alignment it good, can you measure the distance between your knuckles.  I just installed my steering kit and i need to get it close so i can drive it.  I dont have anyone to help do a tape test. Thanks

I am not sure of the measurement but,  When I changed mine I just compared it to the stock steering.  I laid them next to each other and adjusted as needed.  This worked great for me.  I understand your predicament.  It is harder when you are working by yourself. 

Maybe this will help.

I still need this measurement if anyone can do it for me.

I just measured 50 inches from the inside edge of each of the bottom slotted nuts.  I think I'm lined up pretty well.

I tried this morning and couldnt get my tape to stay on the other end. Also hard to do by yourself ;)
