[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 153294, member: 456"] I have organised over 100 of these to go with the JE steering stems. Note, I do not do the machinimg. It is normal to find that the holes at the rear of the lower link are worn oversize, some to the extent that the 32 mm O.D. ball races fall through. These have to be bored and fitted with a steel bush before the bearings. I have seen very few where the hole was not worn and nearly all lower links no longer have the eyes in line. For those contemplating doing their own please note that it is important to check whether the link is still true and relatively unworn before starting any machining. It needs a good jig and/or some skill to ensure that the final job has the eyes exactly in line and parallel with the bores of the two front bushes, FF6. [/QUOTE]
