Can someone tell me how much "pre-load" I should put on the tie rod/drag link ends? Just how much should the large slotted screw be tightened?
I may go with the mordern ball joint tie rod ends....but I still need to know for the drag link.
Thanks in advance!!

Here is a link to the 48-52 manual that is online I would suggest you follow the procedure outlined in the manual. It is not very complicated it spells it out step-by-step.
