Default anyone know where to get steering linkage kit??

well a couple of my ball joints on my linkage are WORN OUT! u know, I found a kit on ebay the kit has everything (pitman arm back...)- tie rods, drag links, stabilizer bar all under 250 bucks but no zerk fittings or holes for them. check it out> http://www.ebay.com/itm/230711545755...84.m1423.l2649
I'm sure it's not the best quality stuff but I thought if I drill, tap, and add zerks they might last. I obviously don't mind paying a little more for a kit that is zerk ready, what have u guys used?

moog, that's what I was thinking of. I will throw this out there before I look, do they have all the parts in a kit or do I have to buy the all separately?

Kit? Idk. Just buy the inner and outer tie rod ends. I think they have one for the pitman arm too. Drag link you may be out of luck I'm not sure. But I bet they sell a replacement for that too

wallet?? u mean cocoon!
the steering stabilizer (not dampener (shock)) ball joint that mounts to the chassis is also bad. I think I could replace just the ball of all the joints but im afraid the socket would be worn out too.

Honestly dude. You don't even HAVE to have a steering stabilizer. All it really does is mask mechanical steering problems
