Steve: I talked to a buddy who really knows how to break it down for my simple mind. Both concepts are very understandable. I think I'm going to stick with traditional tie rod ends opposed to the spherical thing. I think I might even give it a try at making my own. It couldn't or shouldn't be as expensive as most folks are offering them for. I'll just seek out the best quality TRE I can find. One of the fellas at TNT Customs told me to go to Napa Auto Supply. They carry a quality name brand.
I'm just trying (probably too hard) to not have any more buyers remorse. I appreciate everyones input. I greatly appreciate it.
