Y'all,
While reconfiguring the steering to lessen bump steer on my '57, I damaged one of the steering arms that came with the CCI rack-and-pinion kit I'd had since the '90s. I was pleased to see that Eckler's still sold the arms separately and ordered a pair of replacements (P/Ns 142151 & 142152). What I wasn't pleased to see was that while the originals were billet steel, the replacements were not -- they were rather poorly-cast iron and reeked of that burnt/rubbery/sooty/solvent paint smell common to low-end overseas parts. Quite frankly, these looked dangerous. Back to Eckler's these went!
