Steering ISSUE fix - Drag link roll causing dead spot

[laserjock]

Don't forget the anti rejection meds if you put the Chevy part on your ford.

I agree...however sometimes BETTER is better regardless of names attached...

This is on part where I feel Ford cut out too much strength myself. Smaller TRE have less surface are so wear quicker and are inherently weaker.

It may be that one has to get DOM tubing and maybe fab up a setup similar...who knows...

Or I could just toss the high steer arm on rh knuckle and change the draglink to high steer..

Damn, wish I had seen that before replacing all the steering on my D60... Oh well I am happy with the XRF but that kit does look awesome.

All offer chebby TRE crossover kits and high steer kits. I have Ballistic Fab high steer arms for the D60, but wanted WFO high steer arms. Ballistic's were cheaper, but I'll be hitting up WFO for the tie rod and drag link.

That is a neat kit, but those tie rod ends are not "1 ton" chevy ends, and They are also only 7/8. Those drag link ends do look to be gm drag link ends.

@rwk made me a very nice Delrin bushing based on mblaney's measurements but I didn't measure very well so it didn't fit perfect. (not his fault, all MINE)

This is a picture showing my new measurements which I took and re-took and triple-checked this morning. I'll work to see if I can get this one made

Cool, less stock to turn down, measure once cut twice, right?

I'm the carpenter that cuts a board 3 times and the darn thing is still too short

That's why I like welding. Stuff is easier to make it longer again

Sent you a PM too

 

[rwk]

try to get you one turned this week yet,
