Modern TC Track Rod

[Steve Simmons]

A few recent inquiries from the email group about the track rod modification I did a couple years ago have pushed me to finally update the article with more info, part numbers, etc. If interested, it can be found here:

Steve-
Keep in mind the stock TC drag link end (that connects to the steering box arm via drag link ball) has the spring opposite the other three link ends. Drag link end spring is nearest the outer side, not the inner side like the 3 others. The force arrow drawing in your article seems to show the drag link end spring on the wrong side.

Good point. I'm aware of the difference but I guess I wasn't thinking about that when I drew the diagram. I'll move it over and upload a corrected version. Thanks!

Here's the photo that will be in part 2...
