Default Re: Tie Rod & Drag Link Cups: Steel v. Teflon v. Bronze

As duke36 says,
It's all about what's going to be easier to replace/repair down the road...
So:
Which of these various approaches will actually create the least amount of wear on which of the more complex/expensive systems?

Cups are really inexpensive, and it seems to me that I should use whichever cups will wear out fastest since they are wearing down themselves not the balls on the other suspension parts.
[ I'm close to fitting new springs and cups into the tubes and bolting my restored arms/shocks/tubes back on... Pat Musante has just finished installing new shackles and springs front and rear. Looking forward to the first time back on legit suspension since 1971]

My thanks go out to the Barners and all the many folks who are helping keep the Ford legacy alive...
TallyHo,
John
