I know this is an old thread, but I am going through the front of 490 trying to get everything back up to par and hopefully get the steering feel much better, less wander.
So Richard mentioned that the ride height in the front is very important, do we know what the ride height is supposed to be? I know you mention the 11-12” from the ground to the bottom of the fender but most suspension systems have a measurement to go by. Let’s say on the drive axle you normally are making sure that the panhard bar is level at travel ride height.
I did find a publication for country coach, it says it’s for Ridewell IFS 284?? But it gives you a measurement in relation to the bottom A arm outer mount to the inner mount.
Here is what I am talking about:
Do we know if there is such a measurement for the Dana IFS 84?
