Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

famous bob said
How about abandoning the orig. knuckle ? I reworked a vega steering stem quite a bit once. u could gain some room w/ a u joint, no big deal to d shape, pin w/ a grade 8, or stainless bolt. I welded one side of the joint in after that, worked well. U can cut the shaft and locate the u joint for max clearance ---------jmo enjoy reading ur posts !

Hey Bob. We've been looking at a lot of different options for steering components. Borgeson's website (Borgeson Universal Steering Components) has a lot of info that addresses strength of knuckles and boxes. If I recall correctly, they don't recommend the Vega parts for a heavy car. We most likely will be modifying the ends of the shafts to adapt to whichever joints we end up using.
