Suspension travel......

[chrisexv6]

I noticed today that if I push down on the front or rear of my truck, the wheels seem to toe-out as I get closer to the ground.

I've never noticed this before, so I figured id ask if this sounds correct. I did a search but couldnt really find much about it (didnt really even know what to search for!!)

Thanks!!!

Ok I am not sure but I think it is called bumb-steer the rear toe angle changes as the shocks extend or compress. I dontk now if this is what your talking about if it is it should only happen to the rear I think.

You may have the trunbuckles mounted above the hub carriers instead of below. Check the Front and Rear exlosions

fixed the same thing on my buddys maxx, suspnsion down tires go out, or vice versa. Move the rear control arms (tie rods) to the botto of the steering knuckle, same hole, just bolt them on the bottom instead of on the top.

yeah, I think everyone's done that. Must be some sort of mental fade.

That fixed the rears. I did the same to the fronts, but they still bow outward as the suspension is pushed down. Is this normal for the front? or am I still missing something.........I checked the exploded views, everything looks to be fastened in the correct spot.
