Johnny,
Thank you very much for that information, much more than I have been able to find through many searches.
I have questions, The Rose joints, do they replace the lower ball joints?
My front end is in excellent shape and I have recently had it very successfully aligned. The car now has a rear thrust angle of .03 degrees.
There is no torque steer either in braking, driving or full acceleration. I am very pleased but am interested in your information about bump steer. My steering joints are worn, I have searched but nor found them so your sources are very interesting to me. They have needle bearings but I have found that the cups have worn on the ends, resulting in play. My plan before hearing from you was to replace them with new Borgeson type joints, as I did on my shift linkage. Do the u-joints you found allow replacement of the trunion without changing the cage that is welded to the steering shafts?
Great hearing from you,
I will find the bridge material and send it.
All the best, DICK RUZZIN
