Alright guys there have been a lot of you asking a lot of questions concerning suspension and steering. I posted these pics in hopes that it will help you guys out when you go hunting in the junkyard.
First pic is and overall shot of my front end suspension and the braces. You can see the jounce bars with each one reach out to the front ends of the frame forming a "V". The horizontal bar closest to the front is the Gran Prix bar that mounts at the same points as the jounce bars. You can also see the fast ratio box with the 4 bolt cover. Fast ratio boxes never used the round top cover, always had the 4 bolt covers, and are 2.5 turns lock to lock. If you grab a fast ratio box, make sure to grab the pitman arm.
The last 3 pics are the Jeep Intermediate shaft. The ones you need to look for are out late 80's/early 90's plain Jeep Cherokees, NOT GRAND CHEROKEES! This one does not require any cutting. All you need to do is open the gap that connects to the steering column with a screwdriver and hammer so it goes on easily. Use a torch to heat up the center piece to help the smaller end slide into the top half and it slides to length. There are 3 different types of these jeep shafts, make sure get the right one.
Hope this helps. 8)
