So I spent a few hours in the garage getting psyched up to attack the build again this afternoon.
While I was comparing the XJ and WJ steering knuckles I noticed something that I don't remember ever seeing mentioned on here: the knuckle arm is not the same length between the knuckles. That is, the distance from the king pin axis to the end of the steering arm are different lengths with the WJ looking to be ~2" longer according to the Mk I eyeball.
This will mean that the steering will not get a full lock-to-lock travel using the XJ Pitman arm, no?
Is the WJ Pitman arm spline/box compatible with the XJ unit?
Hasn't anyone encountered this before? I find it very odd that the threads I just searched make no mention of it anywhere.
