I'm thinking about your welded bolt for the Heim scenerio. the problem with steering rods is they are flimsy!!! all of ours have gotten bigger stronger rods- also correcting the alignment/location for the rod is usually needed-with yours the rods are very thin and long due to the center pivot- with the rack improvement the rod get's considerably shorter and the rods are much heftier. We haven't bent a single steering rod since a rack-n-pinion was installed. Having the spindle tab set for Ackerman alignment removes alot of the poor geometry from the factory and allows the wheel to turn smoother through it's path reducing the stress on the steering rods.
