[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 325968, member: 483"] The heims on my knuckles just go directly on top of the knuckles single shear with a bolt through them. There wasn't even enough angularity to need spacers, just knuckle, heim, bolt. I did have to grind down some of the inside corner on the tie rod mounting boss simply because it was too big and wouldn't let the heim move, hit the body of them heim. We're talking 1 minute of grinder work just to take off the sharp edge a little bit. For what its worth, every hi-steer arm I've ever had on a rockwell has somehow tied into the stock tie rod hole and / or the knuckle stop bolt hole. I've never used studs or conical washers, just quality gr. 9 bolts and Loctite, and I've never had a single bolt come loose or sheer. I check them now and again to make sure just to stay on top of them. Bill's article is correct, but we all know that we can get away with a lot of stuff that engineers say is "incorrect." [/QUOTE]
