This should be interesting. I want to know how this turns out, and, what the cost savings are versus going with old reliable -- Moog.

well, i bought 4 link kits for $55 a piece. this will replace all tie rod ends. the only thing worn are the ends, thus $230 was a lot cheaper than new linkage. it took me about 2o minutes for the first 2, but once i get my hands on a pickle fork, i will have some pictures of the finished project.

OH! You have a 4x4. OK, that doesn't not apply to my needs.
