88-2000 Center-Link ?

[mountie]

I just replaced my entire suspension & steering parts a few weeks ago. .. For a reason, that I can't remember, my drag link was replaced ( wear in the holes for bolts?).....The adjuster ends were kept..
Lower control arm can stay as is... just replace ball joints

An IMPORTANT reminder!!! >> The drag link can be re-installed backwards by mistake ( not easy to tell), when on the bench, what end of drag link goes left-side or right-side. Even though the shop I went to has a good reputation, the installer installed the link backwards.

When you turn the truck, the inside wheel turns sharper, & the outside turns wider....

A backwards drag link forces the outer wheel to "scrub sideways" ( sharper)... not allowing to make a 'U' turn... or even turn out of your driveway!

Needless to say, when it was corrected, the new front end was LIKE A NEW SHOWROOM truck!!

( I spoke with a Moog tech... He laughed about the reverse drag link. He said that is a common 'trick' he gives the Moog tech school students to figure the problem. A common mistake at many shops.

I got the Moog upper control arms completely built with bushings / ball joint. ( why spend labor $ & sweat .... better deal allready done.

If you have part questions, call Moog Tech support.... They are great & they answer the phone.
