Re: Steering rod & heim joint help

personally, i'd like to see the heim joint down closer to the mid joint
loosen the nut on your heim joint and see how it does with wheels on the ground; lock to lock.
it will probably bind or lock
the heim joint should fully support the mid joint
the other 2 are supported by the column and the rack

using your existing bracket, unbolt the heim and bracket and see if you can affix it down at the mid joint.
then loosen the nut again and do the lock to lock test, it should not make much difference.
