Steering rebuild parts question
Okay, so I'm breaking down and going for it. Kudos to the people who said I would end up doing it even though I swore I wouldn't in a previous post.
In the process of my GenIII swap, the front clip came off. I got to looking at it and next the manual gearbox and pitman arm came off. I had a well-used power gearbox laying around, so I core'd it and bought a rebuilt one ($160). Bought a new pitman arm for $29. Then I sat down and really started looking at things and realized....hell. I got half the truck torn apart and the center link and tie rods are right there and the idler arm is also there....might as well spend another $100, yank the center link and replace the idler arm and tie rods and all the bushings. I don't want to do the ball joints or anything else, just the steering for now. I'm doing suspension mods later and I'll just replace it all then. Who sells a kit with all the bushings I need? I would also like to find a good place to buy all new Moog tie rods and idler arm (per suggestion from cableguy0) If anyone can help, thanks! A big picture of my setup (200k): http://satellitehead.com/uploads/framerails05.jpg Oh wait - where can I get a steering coupler? I bent mine taking it off the old gearbox.
