Anyone running the repop pitman arms available from Mustangs Unlimited, etc?

If so, how is the quality? I'm putting P/S back in the Mach and while I don't "need" a new pitman arm, I'd like to drop a new one in there "just cuz". I'd much Moog, TRW or McQuay-Norris part, but it appears they are no longer made. Looks like the only ones left are the WSD made parts.

I have a Rare Parts RP20148.

Seems nice, the machine work is good, broaching is clean. Wasn’t super stoked with the seal provided but was able to buy a rubber repop that satisfied my OCD.

Figure steering is like brakes... It better work.

 
I too used the Rare Parts one. Fit well but as stated, the felt seal is not the best. The rubber aftermarket I bought may be the wrong one so I left it off, but used the felt one provided. No issues so far, but on the to-do list for later.

Geoff.
