A tale of two Dusters

I noticed some misalignment issues in the strut rods (and was informed by another member) when I was doing the mock-up (See previous pictures). This is a fairly big concern for me because of how hard I will be pushing it and the lower spring rates I wanted to use. I am not sure what I am going to do about it yet. I might have to flip my current design and do something different on the k-frame end. I have some poly bushings that I got in a kit that I could use to give me a bit of room for error. But I would rather not have to use them. I think I will be switching to rod-ends on both ends as in the drawing above. But I may have to get a new rod as this one may be to long. I'll be sure to post more when I figure it out.
