I bought the drag link repair kit from Jim Carter some years ago. The listing was for 3100 through 3800. What I got was cups too small for the 3800 and springs much softer than the original. I needed to replace a broken spring so I had to use the supplied one. Now the steering wheel is no longer centered and it makes the steering box sloppy. I can't take up the slack when it's off center or it'll bind when it goes over center. I looked at Rare Parts listing for that same kit and it supposedly covers 3100 through 3800. It does not. Buyer beware.
