    A bit of grease on the ends of the busings on the lower arms and on the thru bolts will help get rid of some of the squeeks, on the top arms a little where they go on the shaft. As for the
    joints in the colum, I use Borgeson. They're expensive but very high quality....

    ...............and it's highly recommended you not weld the joints on, the heat has a high probability of damaging the bearings and seals. If you don't go with the splined ones then roll pin them, two pins per collar, 90 degree separation.

    You may be able to use some from an Astro van, but only if they are very low miler. The new ones would probably cost as much as Flaming River or Borgeson.......either of which would be my choice as with Dave.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Not what I wanted to hear on the joints, but good advice, Thanks. I guess I will just bite the bullit and use the splined, that seems like it would be the best for phasing as well.

    Any tips on the power rack used manually?
