I built my Lone Star in '98 and don't have any idea if it's a FR or not. It's what ever rack they included in their package at that time. I can tell you I've had no issues with the fitment of the u-joints nor any slack in the steering. I still don't understand your friends reluctance to contact Lone Star for resolution, especially if he recieved a new part that is rusting. I'm beginning to think there are some details missing here. Help me understand his hesitation to deal directly with LS and why he needs an emisary to champion his cause.
