    I cut the factory weld & pull the forging out of the center. I used the Speedway bungs that take the factory ford tie rod ends. If doing that, you will need to bend them also. And don't s**** the center piece. But if you aren't going to Z the frame or change the motor, maybe you don't need to change the wishbone.
