Rebuilding the Front Steering Linkage

[Jim Shepard]

While I don’t remember reading any posts on the subject, I’m sure someone out there has rebuilt the tie rods, drag link and other components of the steering assembly. After installing my S10 T5 and being able to go faster, I discovered a shimmy I didn’t know I had. I was never able to do 55mph before. I re-balanced my front wheels, to no avail. It looks like I have some play in my drag link, maybe 1/4”. Are new tie rod ends available or am I looking at some sort of kit to replace the rubber?

DCM, Vic's and Roberts have listings for the parts you are looking for, including rubber boots and rebuild kits.

Thanks. I’ll check ‘em out.

Check your frame where the steering gear bolts up for cracks also.
