Working on high steer on my Samurai axle using Mercedes-Benz arms and I encountered a small problem: won't be able to use the stock tie rod unless I keep it in its stock location (kinda defeats the purpose of the mod). So I'm thinking I could drill out the taper on the new arms and use rod ends. This is probably way too much effort since I already have Dana 44s and they're going in this summer. Is this basic design (see sketch) okay? Or have I overlooked something critical? I know misalignment angles on the heims matters.
I'm trying to eliminate my funky "z-link" drag link. Maybe I should just re-bootify the drag link by welding on a Jeep TRE for the pitman and be done with it. If it breaks....motivation to get the Danas under the Zuk that much sooner.
Oh yeah...I have XJ power steering now, hence the "jeep" TRE
