Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
I am in total agreement with the others about a lock nut of some kind. I wouldn't try to drill them for a cotter pin, a simple prevailing torque type nut is perfectly fine.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
These
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370610280385 The high misalignment spacers wont work afaict because they reduce the bolt down to 1/2" on a 5/8" spacer. I suppose you could bush the steering knuckle to 1/2", but I don't know if a 1/2" bolt would offer enough margin of safety. Also, with a longer bolt you can insert spacers between the cone and steering knuckle to fine tune the shaft angle.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
Doing some digging, it looks like the tie rod adj. sleeve from a '90 Dodge D150 fits, at 10" and 11/16-18 thread.
http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....096&cc=1087051 And at $8 each not a bad deal -- I'd like to see an aluminum sleeve but couldn't find a set. I did find an 8.5" aluminum set, but idk if this will fit. I'm not too close to mock-up yet so I can't really tell. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pof-105-10049/ Seems like it would be easier and cheaper to find stuff if we could use a 5/8" thread inner tie rod end. Anyone know of a suitable interchange? Even drilling the inner to a 5/8 heim would be cheaper overall. Check out this high misalign Heim for instance: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/QA1-PC...ale,45403.html

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
What you did with the heim joint is the same thing Factory Five sells as a bump steer kit for their cobra replicas. Their kit comes with an aluminum sleeve with opposing threads so all you have to do is loosen the jam nuts to adjust.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
I think the ES323L inner tie rod end will work to convert to 5/8" -- it's got a slightly smaller small and large taper diameter but identical taper angle.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
Looks like some company came up with a solution on the tie rod thing:

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
The website says they are used to connect and rack to the spindles. Not the same thing.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
They could be used for the same purpose but for $200 I'd rather just drill out the knuckle or get a tapered bushing to use a bolt. Tempting though, they look like nicely made pieces.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
Gsimfab thinks its a good idea to use a cotter pin too. Just sayin.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
I was thinking that something like this could be used if you ever wanted to go back to a top-mount rod, or even inserted into the bottom if you wanted to use regular tapered rods.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
I like both options. If those rack units are aluminum I might wonder. I think the spacer might be safer.

Here are my parts from rod end supply. There heim design cannot come appart and therefore needs no large washer on the bottom. As seen from pic. They are also self lubricated sealed units with special wear compound. They will make sleeves for you with any thread , any length, in aluminum, or steel (zink plated) i opted for aluminum 8 1/2 " long with a 5/8 LH anfd 3/4 RH. I have narrowed arms and was already running the cpp conversin sleeves from the disc swap years ago. So this will be a direct replacement bump steer kit with high end parts for about $115 shipped to my door. Oh I also got the stainless misalignment sleves like lolife posted. Only thing not pictured is 5/8 grade 8 bolts and lock nuts. I will get them locally.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
The missalignment sleves are hms 10-12. If you are talking about abtapered insert for the spindle...there is not one....you drill the hole to a 5/8 straight bore and use a grade 8 bolt with lock nut. Aslo they have many styles of ends. Get the best chromemoly ones. I called and talked to Marda so she got me straight on the correct stuff.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
Just got my new girl home- 69 swb still with 6 lug/drums. Wasn’t even aware of bumpsteer phenomenon until I saw on here. Unfortunately, mine has 3” spring drop only as well. My tie rod end in stock position is pretty flat. The part that concerns me is the bump stop on bottom only has an inch to go before it bottoms out on flange. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Didn’t have new springs and drop spindles in budget right now.

Re: Sharing my bump steer fix with this Great community of truck nuts!
Well I got my kit on only to find out that my draglink had been swapped by a previous owner. Even though it looks cool the inner tierod are wrong fo my draglink.😡
If anyone has done the conversion disc swap where you use 68 outers as inners, hit me up if you want to switch to Heims on the spindle side. I had to have another set of adjusters made. So I guess these can become pretty shop art until the right person comes along....
