the pacer clip is notable because it uses chevy balljoints and tie rod ends and the downside is it uses a one year only rack and pinion that cannot be bought anywhere----so if you need a rebuild done you have to hope the builder sends it back to you----a good hodrod clip to consider is the jaguar XJ6--the only downside here is a rear steer rack that may make you set the motor back an inch or 2 more---the upside is it is more narrow than the dakota or crown vic and the independent rear is made of dana 44 components too....bob
