I recently put a 4" lift on my 1990 Chevy Suburban 2500 4X4, a friend of mine had a drop steering arm with the same 3 bolt mounting. I installed the arm and it lifts the drag ling from the steering box perfect, but it bumps when I turn right. I does look like the steering arm he gave me moved the location of the drag link about 2" back towards the cab, resulting in loosing the right turn ability. Is this the incorrect arm? I have a 10 bolt Dana 44 front axle. He doesnt know what it was off of, but after looking at a few offroad sites for drop steering arms, they pictures they have of there arms look the same as the arm I have. Any ideas?
