Jaguar IFS
for those that have installed a jaguar IFS in their trucks I have a question?
has anyone noticed a difference with turning radius more one side to the other?
i installed a jaguar IFS wait for it in my 52 Chevy 1/2 ton truck just got it hooked up engine running and the wheels seem like they turn more to the right than the left.
havent driven the truck yet to see if there’s a big difference.
if so what should I look for and would it possibly be something simple?
thanks for any feedback.

How did you mount the Jag IFS - soft mount or weld in?
I have only driven mine (51 F1) around the block a few times but I haven't noticed a difference. Mine is soft mounted.
It might have something to do with alignment (caster or toe-in).
I would be interested in what you find.

Steering rack not centered strong possibility I did notice that it moves back and forth a bit when turning wheels left and right.
I came over to the ford group and seemed to get a lot of info here. I went with the soft mount and have to rework the mounting brackets o get sway bar in .unlike your ford frames my Chevy frame is a bit more narrow than ford frames where the ifs sits perfectly under the frame.
a little back story I have a 235 straight 6 with 3 on the tree column shift 3 speed transmission with overdrive open drive line
3:73 rearend gears things left to do is rework brackets sway bar install change master cylinder build some shock mounts unless I can find a pair.
I will try to post some pics
thanks Robert

Looks good Robert
Rock Auto has urethane bushings for the rack mounts that will help hold the rack and pinion in place.
I left the caster and camber where it was when in the Jag doner. Will have it aligned when its driveable.

Sorry, Robert
I steered you wrong. I couldn't find them at Rock Auto either. Go to energy susension.com. They have all of the bushings for the Jag IFS in urethane.
Here is another photo.
good luck
Dan
