    Adjusting the steering arm, you will need to replace the rod ends, adjusters/sleeves and stud/shaft, I have documented the parts that I used in this tread.

    Tony, thanks for your work in finding these parts and process. I found the following in your build thread and posting again so I can find them in the future and for other's reference:

    Here are the parts I sourced out to get a bump steer kit that would work, height wise and adjustable

    Yep, I screwed up, copied the text rather than the actual underlying link address; and then did not test. I will do better next time!
