Thanks-


Don't know that it would work on a tubular replacement K since the bearing support is designed to mount on the lip of the stock K. I'm sure things could be modified or a tab welded on to allow it.


It's more of an issue of the pitman arm hanging out in the air per-say, being in single shear mounted on only one side. It can deflect around a bit outside of rotation of the arm because of the pressures being exerted on it. With this kit, it puts it in double shear, and allows for a fluid movement with no deflection. Which makes steering much nicer and less floaty.
