SAS steering woes
« on: Apr 20, 2008, 05:59:46 PM »
I just got my SAS'd tacoma on the road for the first few miles and noticed a few things. the steering doesnt seem to self center much at all, and it also seems to wander a bit. this is my first sas so i have no idea and was wondering if some of the guys who have done this could toss in some advice for as to what it could be?

you'll have to cut the balls  off the tube  and rotate  and reweld  to fix the caster
