I'm getting ready to make my tie rod and drag link. The question I have is, Would running the drag link to the tie rod instead of the steering arm be a really bad idea? I was planning on running it to the steering arm. I'm using 3/4" heims and even with the high misalinment spacers I think I will run out of travel at the ball's(heim joint balls). That's why I was think of running the drag link to the tie rod and the heim at the tie rod will be vertical. This will allow unlimited movement of the drag link.
I've seen guy's running this set up and it looks pretty good. I just want a good steering set up that won't limit wheel travel. I'm using 1 1/4" solid round for both rods. I'm thinking of machineing a flat spot on both sides where the drag link will attach. Then drill a 3/4" hole and run the bolt thru the hole. I attached a picture of kinda how it will look. The top set up was how I was planning but I think I will go with the bottom set up. What to you guy's think?
Try to keep focus on the topic,I know there's alot of talk about ball's,rod's,solid round and holes:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :goofball:
