Torsion Rod ends / Drag Link Steering Arm end
 

In the process of working on the front end and when I opened the Torsion Rod ends / Drag Link Steering Arm ends and found the spring was placed directly against the back wall of each ball holder without the thin cup. Is there supposed to be a thin cup between the back wall and the spring?

Thanks

Yup. Snyders has a great drawing on their website. Are the balls nice and round?

The steering arm balls are worn enough to need to be replaced.

Bratton's has some pictures at this link. https://www.brattons.com/original-st...build-kit.html

At one time there was a greaseless hard Teflon cup kit available for shock arms and steering. Does anyone know if it is still available and where?

Most of the vendors carry them. I'm not sure they where meant to be greaseless tho? I don't know for sure. I grease mine with no ill effects.

Remember, the drag link ends are different. The pittman arm end is different from the other end. The drawings show this but they don't notate it. The tie rod ends are the same.
