Can I remove these, sand them, clean them. prime/paint these?

Or are they goners?




Thanks

How much play is in them? You can clean them up, buy new boots and re grease them and be all set.

 

As long as there is not an excessive amount of play in them, clean them up and reuse them. If you can get them clean enough, then paint them. Just make sure you put fresh grease in them. New boots wouldn't be necessary if the old ones are not ripped, torn, or rotting.

 

 

is it really worth going through all that on a part that wears out?
I would buy new parts and paint them what ever color I wanted instead of going through all that work on parts that may only last a few thousand miles but thats just me

 

I'm a bit **** (and I freely admit to throwing money at new parts), but I'd replace, especially if the parts are from 20+ car.

Spohn sells a complete front end kit.

 

You need not spend nearly that much on front end parts. Your local NAPA or whatever will have MOOG stuff for about half the price.

 

If they are the original, then yes I would replace them. However, he didn't say if they are original or if they only have 10K on them. That's why I asked how much play is in them. That will be the determining factor, and is not something we can judge from a pic. If they have no play in them, I don't see the problem in reusing them.

 

I liked the idea of NOT running around trying to find parts for 22yr+ car and having the dumb parts guy ording the wrong items. UPS's to my door in three days without going anywhere and the parts fit.

 

"If," a subordinate conjunction and perhaps the most powerful word in the English language .

I agree, bought it this month and it sure saved time & money in my opinion

 

Seems like a good time to ask..........

I really like the aftermarket tie rod adjusting sleeves, with locknuts, over the stock type. My question is, does anyone make them in steel rather than the aluminum ones I have seen discussed in posts on this board?
I don't mind the slight extra weight, they should be a little cheaper and I absolutely hate the dissimilar metals corrosion issues between aluminum and steel, especially on a daily driven street car that will see snow and road salt. I know, you would lube 'em up really well. But still, I'd like to find steel ones.

 

i haven't heard of anyone using aluminum for tie rod sleeves
that i know of most are made from steel or chrome molly im sure that it might be confusing since there sometimes zinc coated giving it the appearance of aluminum. but im running steel ones look at post #13 theres even a link for them there too
