You can use the parts in this RC10 re-re steering kit.

managed to drill the seized screw out of the post. so im good. When mounting the posts should I put a washer between the pan and the post?

TO SAVE THE ANNO I WOULD.Be sure to use the correct size screw for the posts its a shorty and dont force one tighter or seize up.don

yea, figures I have so few of the shorty screws, was able to find two. I am a newbie working on RC cars, I havea lot more knowledge setting up automotive suspensions than rc suspensions but the geometry principles are the same anyway, how should i have the rps servo savers aligned when I trying to get the length of the linkage between the two. should all four ball ends be aligned in a straight line?

Make the center link long enough that the steering arms are parallel. This places the outer balls slightly outward and back from the inner set of balls.
