Check these out too. I'm going to grab a set at the Indy show, hopefully. http://monstermopar.com/forum/index.php?topic=1056.0

We moved everything as necessary/directed and tacked it in place to fit our oil pan hole then mailed it to him, he worked his magic and sent it back. Fits like a glove, turn to turn steering, and very easy to remove to take of the pan and change/check bearings. Matt Welker SS/AH 114 A/S 1741

I just drill out the center link with a 3/4" bit on a drill press. Don't tighten the nuts or the sleeves will bind on the tie rod/pitman arm/idler arm. With a diaper and center link through the pan we have to pull it off many times through the season. That link just slips on and off. Those bushings are the cats meow... 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

In addition to reaming out the holes I put a "step down" on mine where the shoulder of the bushing goes(so that the shoulder side of the bushing is flush with the steering link) and I also run a hardened flat washer under the nut. I had to shorten the non shoulder side of the bushing the thickness of the the shoulder to locate the steering link where I wanted it be. Something else, I bought a bag of cotter pins the correct size so I never have to reuse them. Brian Last edited by '72CudaRacer; 02/24/13 08:53 PM.
