Bulldog67 · « **Reply #127 on:** January 07, 2012, 09:48:33 AM »

well that google trip at least found me the parts via ebay.com

but also heavy duty steering rods that come complete

but no joy on the reem/taper tool which could easily be the cheapest solution

I used the tapered inserts described on the go-jeep page. I ordered mine from goferit direct but if Steve at FTE has some then even better (quicker). call him on his mobile rather than email if you want a response! You'll need to drill a 3/4" hole and have them welded in professionally if the knuckles are cast steel like on my XJ/WJ version.

what is a secret?

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #132 on:** January 07, 2012, 12:04:37 PM »

The ones Steve sell i don't need welding in as they are over size and are presed in

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #133 on:** January 07, 2012, 01:45:34 PM »

Maybe I missed something but why do you need inserts when you have flat top knuckles on order?

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #137 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:10:42 AM »

Bubba · « **Reply #138 on:** January 10, 2012, 12:48:25 PM »

inserts were pre flatop

Dave69 · « **Reply #139 on:** January 10, 2012, 07:37:19 PM »

i think now they still use them for added shear strength if i'm thinking the correct interpritation

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #140 on:** January 18, 2012, 02:56:25 PM »
