Not to hi-jack the thread, but what do you mean by play in turns?

Good luck, hope you figure it out.

"To spec" might not be enough. I've see this happen a couple times running a drilled knuckle and tapered insert.

Are you running a rear track bar bracket also ?
Without raising the rear, the rolls center will be sloped down front to rear causing some oversteer.

I do have a raised axle side track bar bracket.

Anyone know of the exact specs on the DL nuts so I can verify?

I found that also...wonder if that applies to the PP stuff.

I have mine at 60 ftlbs and didn't notice in the directions any specs specific to the PP drag link nuts so maybe mine are not tight enough
