soa on fourtrack

Forum: 

hi im doing a spring over axle on my fourtrak i have done the back i only have to do the frount now but in not shore about wellding the prench onto the diff houseing as it apears to be cast just want to know the best way around this thanks.

subjected to death

tons of stuff on forum about soa, people seem to get away with welding to the diff perch, its cast steel, it will weld, but you want to do your welding in small bursts and let it cool, however dont do weld on diff gaurds as they dont work so well. Anyway, the steering is your issue, most people just bend the tie rod, but the correct way is to create a high steer, if you want i can give you a link for some real in depth soa rocky pictures i got that are tried n tested, but the high steer is very 'mcguyver'.

Full of ideas but no time to do them!!

reversal of the spring is something someone else must answer who has had a go.Its not something i would entertain.
