ECORS Class A race rig build

Thanks for the comments guys! Unfortunately I don't have a good solution for the tie rod over setup. One thing that I am fighting is the track bar mount. I am now using the lower hole in order to gain some suspension travel and keep the track bar out of the oil pan.

This means that the track bar is no longer parallel to the drag link for the steering linkage. Running tie rod under the knuckle will put my drag link back parallel to the track bar, which is probably best at this point.

One idea that I did have for running a double shear bolt for the steering linkage would be to drill and tap the knuckle and make a form of a high steer arm that would be in line with the lower steering hole. Thought about doing that and running the bolt through with the linkage sandwiched between them. Shouldn't be too hard to make, but I decided against it. Was pondering on using 3/8" plate to do that with, along with the plasma cutter. Might ponder it in the future, but I'm going to run tie rod under for now.

There was just too much force over the top of the knuckle the way it was. FYI, it should be pretty easy to weld to the knuckle. Seen plenty of welded knuckles, but never researched if there was a 'right way' to do it.
