Hi Dick,
I did not replace the lower A arm bushings with Rose joints, I replaced the tie rod outer ball joint with a Rose joint so that I could shim it up and down until I found the perfect height that eliminated the bump steer. I mounted it in double shear by modifying the steering arm and drilling out the taper to accept an M16 bolt.
Yes, I was able to change the steering column trunions without changing the cage. It was a time consuming job because they are so small and the cage bends easily.
I did grease the upper ball joint but did not add a grease nipple, I should have done that.
