.... or modify the mounting angle of the steering box: instead of parallel to the frame, re-orient it a few degrees (outward at front), so that the pitman arm end moves closer to the chassis, when turning right . That's what I would try first.
Both halves (referring to only the rim portion) of the 2-pc HEMTT wheels (NSN 2530-01-474-5564) are made from 5/16" steel strips, roller-bent, welded and then hot-rolled to final shape. I have found many of the welds were poorly ground, just where the tire bead comes to seat- and has to...
.... or the whole input shaft has somehow moved backwards a couple mm??:?
Before you pull apart the whole TC, here are a few dimensions you can check and compare with yours, after removing that top 4-bolt cover (plus the poppet ball, stem & spring) ....
For fairly new parts, the synchro collar...
You may be able to remove the lid alone. But then, getting all shafts back in place at once will be challenging, at least.
Have you found already what causes the synchro to not fully engage?
Yes, it is.... It doesn't take much movement (<3/16") to prevent the H-L lever & linkage from fully engaging in gear. The slip joint on that jack shaft certainly allows for much more travel than that.
Well, PP does affect fuel atomization, yes (not flow, as some might think). But IDK about it being as much as "crucial"... (?)
FWIW, I know people who are running the stock Delphi 803 "turbo" injectors for example, in their (N/A) 6.2s. No reported issues, so far. Others have set their injectors...
Yes, the whole synchronizer assembly moves back and forth, but only a couple mm each way, until the (gold colored) rings make contact with the respective gear cone. Past that travel, what really moves is the clutch collar itself. About 15mm out of neutral position, each way. Meaning that the...
In the best case, the TC mounts are loose and the whole TC has shifted to the rear of vehicle, not allowing full (inward)travel of the shift shaft when shifting into high gear.
Second best scenario (and also relatively easy to check and fix): somehow the fork's set screw (#12) broke loose and...
Yes - if we included the options in the civilian world...
But the image in the OP is clearly referring to the stock tire/wheel assembly with the NSN 2530-01-563-8620
The same can be done with welded wheels, but you better had a lathe with >60cm swing to do this right.
So what...? No specifics?
Fact is, you don't build custom wheels just to look good...
With the right tools, runout tolerances can/should be way below factory. (If wobbling/hopping even was...
