Default Re: Indentify chassis?

As previously stated I agree the steering link is ughly but until I come up with a better solution while ughly it very strong & functions surprisingly well. I believe what ur calling the spindle thingie is the 1” dia. Tie rod connecting the steering pivots on the spindle/ brake / flange assemblies. While I will come up with a better design 4 the link, the long tie rod is fine with me. Will prep all that was chrome which is in bad shape & paint black.

Guess i didn't see the tie rod in the pictures, just the short drag link and spindle set up. tie rods are usually long, and better suited behind the axle. Your Drag link angle looks fine, so death wobble is probable okay. Just a strange setup if welded well.
