Steering link? You mean tie rods I assume. Get MOOG . And don't ignore the thread I posted. If you don't at least check and fix that proiblem, you'll help create more.

Will need an alignment when you are done.... check ALL your front end parts.... replace as necessary, then get an alignment.

I got the same response from the Chevy dealer on my beater 94 Z71. I told him all I really needed was the factory gear ratio. I was then referred to another person who was no help. Guess I will be countin teeth.

Or count driveshaft rotations per tire rotation... multiply by 2 if it's and open diff and one tire is stationary.

I tried to get build sheet on BIL's Jeep, and they would not provide it as I was not registered owner. They cited "for security purposes." I did not know that a jeep build was a matter of national security or any other security! I called BS, but did not win....

Kudo to Dodge division for being accomodating to owners. If anyone needs same info for Toyota, PM me.

Same thing happened to me when I tried to get a build sheet from dodge before I bought my current truck. It is stupid, because it's not like your SS # is on it .
