A 1/4" in three places equals 3/4" and that can go along ways correcting the problem since the tie rod end and the torsion was most likely less than a 1/4" overlap.
Im placing two shims on the top two bolts of the steering box also. I ran into a little delema though..drivers side tortion bar is tweaked..bent. I have a spare 318 tortion bar im gonna put in its place for now..
