Re: Bolt in steering rack

If so, this can be solved by making the 'link' longer (a piece of allthread will do this). Next, the top rail on a 73-87 is a bit on the narrow side. We have a different bearing mount plate for these trucks. It can be boltd in, but I suggest welding. Other than that, no problems.

Exactly my problem. The rack and the sway bar want to live in the same real estate. It's a 3" riser needed to put the Ride Tech muscle bar above the rack and pinion... I have the material on the lathe now.
