front AGs

Recommended Posts

ehertzfeld
OK I got a set of AGs for the front on my 64 Landlord. I was talking to a friend, and he said that reversing the direction would only benefit if it was on a 4 wheel drive. Being the front wheels, with reversed AGs, would give traction wile backing up, and not any benefit for steering. I know a lot of you run reversed AGs and a few don't, so dose it make that much of a difference, with the AGs reversed direction, as far as steering? Elon

I heard they work better reversed, but I am guilty of putting mine on more for looks. I got them facing forward. I like the way they match the rears.

They work much better reversed. The reason why is that the ends of the lugs contact the ground first like this >>>>>>>>>>>> instead of the center of the lugs, like this <<<<<<<<<<< Since the end of the lugs get the weight on them first and dig in, that really improves steering....

I have run them both ways in very muddy conditions, filling the hole in the backyard, and i honestly, can't tell the difference, they work good either way. There was a BIG difference when i installed the front wheel weights.

I've ran them both ways and never noticed a difference either way. Because it didn't change the traction issue, I thought just like (richp) For looks I run them forward to match the rear tires. -Paul
