So my 97 XJ still has its factory steering with 272,000. It really has needed to be replaced for about 4 years now. I have been looking at everything I can do from mild to wild. After looking at options, considering budget, and intended use the UTK Chevy One Ton option is my best bet.
Now I know there is the infamous dead spot that many include the poly spacers to combat against. Ruff stuff has also come out with an product called the cure that is made of delrin.
I have seen some people be all for using the tapered inserts and some fully against it. My real concern is that the inserts have a lip to them. I am thinking by looking at it that the lip of the insert would cause issues with the poly spacers seating against the knuckle to prevent the tie rode roll.
Anyone have some thoughts or insight into this? I have searched and searched but nobody seems to touch on this much.
