Isn't the c-body pitman arm ball joint stud larger than on ABE cars so it doesn't interchange (I know the indexing is wrong too but that could be corrected with a file)?
ABE tie rods are 9/16" from factory - C-body is 11/16".

Actually I believe the "normal" TR are 9/16" and the C body stuff might be 11/16".you saved. There is no engineering need for the 11/16" "upgrade" on a street driven car you mentioned, none, unless one has already added 3/8"+ thick LCA gussets with their KYB shocks. and running into curbs is one's idea of recreation. .
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Sure enough but if you have to buy a C-body pitman arm and the reamer (they are expensive) you could as well just get a fast ratio arm Wow, it has been a while since I bought a reamer, they are indeed expensive. If you know the angle you can buy one from Ebay. I saved a lot. Common use was for GM truck upgrade in the off-road field.

How many miles have you put on the FF3 since new/install? I can't see it wore out yet anyway, something else must be at play, pun intended..
