Odd question for you all, specifically those who have the Clydesdale linkage from WildHorses. I recently purchased this setup to replace a new linkage setup I had bought a few months prior. Been working on a frame up, and didn't like the slop in the steering I was experiencing with the other setup. I originally purchased the following, all of which fit fine:
4 pc Steering Linkage Kit - T-Style w/Adjustable Drag Link, 66-75 Ford
Adjustable Tracking Bar w/Poly Bushings, 1966-75 Ford Bronco
So I ordered the Clydesdale using the same date range, for the setup (I swapped a Dana44 into it). The pictures show the issue I'm experiencing. I contacted WildHorses, and the person I spoke to thought it was strange I was having the issues I am experiencing, and asked that I take some measurements and reconact them. I plan to do that, though I work nights and have been working way to much overtime; and simply haven't had the time to do that yet.
Was more or less curious if any of you have experienced something similar? Specifically the issue I'm having is the tapered holes in both the pitman arm and the knuckles are too big for the studs. As a result, the castle nuts are bottoming out, before pulling the stud all the way into the taper. I don't like the idea of having to use washers as a shim.
Thanks for any input.
