Title: Caster YJ's Dana30
Post by: Tappie on August 25, 2005, 03:21:58 PM

Hi,

I'm busy putting my YJ on SOA. The rear axle is in place, and now i'm working on the front axle. I found out that the axle has to sit back 6-8 degrees (stock). Can anyone tell me if I put the diff yoke horizontally, will the caster be around 7 degrees? (is caster allready in the axle?). Or do i need to put the yoke in a certain angle? I can't mesure it in the stock setup and copy it, don't have the stock leaves anymore....  :?

Thanks,
Charon

I'd just make the new perches parallel to the old ones.  Makes it easy.

What he said.  I've done a bunch of these and never had an issue.

you left the stock perches on there? I reused mine. we put a magnetic angle finder on the steering knuckle to find the angle. Somewhere near the ball joint we found a flat enough spot.
