Check out jamaroon's build thread for some ideas he built one for his Z. Either that or it was Blaz but regardless I believe they built it together lol!

It was for mine, but yeah we built it together.

No easy way to get measurements that would be useful and to be honest, I probably wouldn't give them out anyway out of respect for the guy that did all the development. It's not that hard to figure out, and if you can't then you're probably better off buying it.

Lifetime huh. Its pretty hard to find any information on what they warranty other than manufacturers defects.
I just replaced my Moog Problem solver idler arm and pitman arm. They didn't last a lifetime or my lower ***** joints. Yes I did regularly grease them.
