Post by JMcTurnan »

Is there suppose to be a bushing over the studs of the tie rods? If so could someone show me where to get some?

How many total, does one go at the end of the center linkage past the sleeve? Or just the ends?

i think 4 total. one at both ends. one at the drag link to steerign arm then one to pitman arm from steerign arm. that isnt the correct name for the steerign arm but it has a bushing (rubber thing) where it botls to the draglink.
