rnr Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hi Folks, I have discovered a fair bit of play between the steering arm and the knuckle on my stalker. It looks like are only attached on the ball joint knuckle so I cant just tighten the nut. The play is on both sides and is greatest on the left side. Is this a known issue and are there any suggested fixes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) rnr, see photo. Easy, straightforward fix. Been running this setup since 2013 with ZERO issues. Solid, zero-slop steering. - Rear of steering arm needs to be placed flush against the spindle - Castle nut needs to be shimmed with a 1/2" grade 8 washer to ensure the steering arm is torqued to the lower ball joint - The coupling nut/set screw is the icing on the cake Coupling nuts and set screws available from McMaster-Carr Coupling nut: https://www.mcmaster.com/90983A261/ Set screw: https://www.mcmaster.com/94105A638/ Edited December 9, 2020 by xcarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
