will GQ pitman arm fit a MK/MQ power steering box?

I had to re-do slightly my MK frame and I had to move my frame's front cross member, where the idler arm bolts on. Now I'd like to re-do my steering on my MK similar to GQ (no idler arm). Can I do the following: leave MK stock tie-rod, then have a custom made drag link that will go from the tie-rod ...

Original hubs seem to be the best option but they are the most expensive ones. Same thing with my matte's Toyota - AISIN hubs considered to be the best (Toy original), then WARN Premiums. I don't like AVM hubs - their dial is made out of plastic. I will try to look up used original hubs then in junk ...
