Hello again, I have a 1989 GQ and i find that the turning circle is much better than the one I just bought (1994 GQ) Was wondering if there is a easy adjustment that can be made on the 1994 model so that it can turn tighter than it does. Just like my old 1989 model does. Any Ideas?I love it when you take DIRTY !

I put a 6 inch lift in mine without using a castor kit so in actual fact i shortened my wheelbase and it can do a u-turn in a side street "T" intersection which my last one couldnt do with a 4" lift and a 6 degree castor kit..
But the downside of this is the vehicle is a pig to keep in a bitumen traffic lane which has wheel ruts...
My last one was a 94model RX and it was extra bad for u-turns..._____________________________________________

Thanks for that Voxson,
I wont be going to those extremes just to get her to turn tighter. I might just jack them both up tomorrow side by side and see if I can find something simple to modify on the new girl. Might even be the turn stoppers need adjusting..I'll measure the 2 up and see what i can do.I love it when you take DIRTY !

Theres some steering stops on the front Knuckles on the diff where the wiper seals are, maybe someones stuffed around with them.
