Home built rack and pinion+ coilover build.

A little update! There is a reason the factory uses tapered seats on suspension parts. Those tapered tie rod ends don't hammer the holes out of round over time like the 1/2 inch studs i first tried on the dart. ANY wiggle room (.001?) is more than enough to start the destruction! So if you have to use a stud that us not tapered, then make sure it is very tight on clearance and i recommend AT LEAST twice the thickness (for the part it bolts through) of the bolt or stud you are using, and keep an eye on them for wear and elongation of the hole.
