Unfortunately I can't be much help, but I'm currently removing all unnecessary wiring also. Pretty sure my 88 is held together with years of butt connectors. Anyways, beautiful car and look forward to seeing where this goes.
Sorry for the poor quality, hopefully it helps. I know I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge so far. I was thinking I would have to machine a brass spacer to take up the slack left by the larger diameter, but at least I know I have options. I had planned on going tube kmember by the end of the year but maybe I'll just do it now. Thanks again everyone.
Hello, I recently sold my 85 notch, and purchased a 88 5.0 aod Thunderbird. Was told it was a V6 car with a 5.0 from a mustang, but the VIN shows a factory 5.0 auto. Anyways, while driving, the steering shifts from side to side while going down the road. Further inspection has revelled a possible issue. The whole rack moves left and right due to the rack bushings being .68" ID, while the long bolts that hold the rack on to the k member are .53". Also there isn't and welded rods to slide the rack on to. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've searched and couldn't find anything. Thanks for your time, and expertise.
