Jerry, what kind of help is, "So it's 45 years old and something broke?" Then you go on to tell me about the loads on a steering system and when in four wheel drive. Which is not a problem here seeing how there is no front drive shaft. I always appreciate help. I have no problem with you explaining how things work so other people can learn too. I have a good understanding on how things work and how they were designed to be utilized also. I'll be the first to admit I do not know everything.

I read that post as non informative because you were just telling be I need to check out my steering parts because they take a lot of abuse. Even though you apparently haven't read any of this build thread to see all these parts have indeed been replaced. If you had, you may have known that this particular part/piece that failed, is not any OEM production piece any way. I can only assume they failed because they are cheap junk. And I will be checking out the front end as I will remove the knuckle off the axle to remove the broken studs. That should be loads of fun to remove those studs. Who knows, maybe they were too hard and that's why they broke? Like I said earlier, I should have known better to use unknown brand studs for this part.

I'll quit ranting now.
