I'm not on here to start a debate, I built my own heim steering on my bronco and have built several vehicles from the ground up with no issues. If you do your research, like most of us on this site is doing and like your self blubuckaroo, you will wind up with something better than the OEM manufaturers did.
I am talking about putting a stock part back on a stock vehicle. I knew going into this that the weld would harden the steel, but I have never used a reamer and was wanting to know if it was because of welding it was hard to ream or I was not doing it properly. I'm not welding a piece on to my knuckle, I as stated in the before post, filled in the wallowd out hole from the previous owner.
Thank you for you input and concern about all of our safety blubuckaroo,
David
