When did you replace your draglink?

[RYANSTULC]

My entire steering setup is junk. I have a HP44 the PO had custom built. The axle has knuckles off a Wagoneer (I think). So the drag link connects to the passenger side knuckle at the "outer most hole". (The passenger knuckle has 2 holes). Then the tie-rod from the draglink connects to the driver's side knuckle. Problem is these 2 connections are at different dimensions from the centerline of the axle. (Bad ackerman angle). So, I'm having a custom tie rod made to go "knuckle to knuckle" and the drag link will remain as-is. I'd relocate the drag link to the other hole on the passenger side knuckle, but it binds on the springs, and possibly the track-bar.

See the bolt for the stabilizer? The drag link is closer to the centerline of
the jeep, so when the stabilizer is fully extended, it's maxed out, and bends the bolt. This is another thing I need to fix.

Wow, nice save. I wouldve never thought of that.
