Dose anyone no if the tapper on a GQ tie rod is different to the tapper on a MQ tie rod as I have made a heavy duty drag link with 2 tie rods welded in to some tube works fine but noticed today as the wheels turn either way the drag link appears to drop slightly then turn only on the end that gose into the steering box end.

Can you bolt in a GU front diff into a GQ with out any mods.Also can you fit the crown wheel and pinion out of a GQ into a GU housing or do a straight swap for the hole center out of a GQ
