over the top (OTT). You can buy it for $300-$400, or make one with old mercedes arms. If you want to buy, check out the venders advertising on this site, if you want mercedes arms, just do a search.

X2 on what Jeremiah sez.


Take a look at this webpage at Ack's FAQ for a lesson in steering theory:

The junkyard highsteer involves at least one steering arm off a Mercedes car. There are a number of threads on the topic at various forums on the Internet.

I would add links to them at Acks FAQ except in the last few days, the ISP my site has really clamped down on access security so I am temprarily unable to add links on the topic.

In the meantime, I would start looking by doing searches for mercedes here at zukiworld.com, at Zuwharrie.com (http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/index.php?board=12.0 (http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/index.php?board=12.0) ), at ZukiKrawlers.com (http://www.zukikrawlers.com/index.php (http://www.zukikrawlers.com/index.php) ) and at izook.com ( http://www.izook.com/ (http://www.izook.com/) ). The forum at izook.com requires registration (free) but you might also find info in their many on-line articles.

I hope that this helps!
