if it is feasible and you think about it next time your out, can you show a video ofyour drag link to show us what sort of play you are getting when putting a hand on it

There is zero movement in the drag link, trackbar, or tie rod. I put on grippy gloves and used both hands.
Nothing. Not even a tick.

I just ordered synergy drag link. Not sure if you upgraded your drag as well, hard to tell in vid. Looks sturdy.

I didn't. Pretty sure it's stock, but I did buy the truck used with 1650 on the odometer.

Exactly as it should be. Especially on a vehicle like these.

completely agree,
Even if they come stock with that 1/8th free or dead space when you rotate it, soon it will expand into more looseness if your driving these where they are meant to be

Is that your new steering stabilizer on the front? ?

(@Lunentucker)HAha NOOO. Last winter.

I keep trying to upload a minute and a half video but it says file is too large (@ShadowsPapa @Lunentucker)

My buddies high altitude diesel and other 80th anniversary have gone out and had drone footage and got it edited. Can’t send

File size is pretty tightly restricted here. You can upload it to YouTube or another hosting service, or you can try to reduce the footprint using software like Handbrake.
You can upload a video of up to 60 seconds to Imgur.com with no account.

Looking to tighten my steering box, wont there be some kind of rubber seal that could get damaged while heating the nut to release the loctite?

Thanks!

No. I wondered the same when I started but there's no rubber seal to be damaged by the heat.

Spray it with brake cleaner and it will break loose.
