So I was looking to change out my steering linkage. I did a search and seems that everyone prefers to go Moog. So I will do the same. Now I guess Moog doesn't sell it as a set, so I think I have to purchase each part individually. Unless anyone has a link to a full set for sale. The only other full set I can find is PST on ebay. Any other brands out there that are fairly good? I figure Moog is top of the line and I guess very expensive too. So I'm kind of working on a budget. If worse comes to worst I'll just get Moog.

 

Ok I copied off of the ebay of PST of what parts I need.These are all Moog parts 2 Idler Arms Part#k6249 (Are they universal to both sides? Do I need to order a left and right side because on Advance auto parts only has 1 choice) 2 Tie rod ends inner Part# ES2226RL (same question as the idler arms?) 2 Tie rod ends outer Part# ES2227RL (again universal?) Center Link Part# DS1049 and 2 Adjusting Sleeves (same question) With coupons and everything it comes out to roughly 350$ for all of it.

 

There's only 1 idler arm, on the passenger side. The driver's side has a pitman arm on the steering box.

 

That got me thinking for a minute, there is only one lol.

 

Ok I can't find the pitman arm, how necessary is it to change that when I'm changing everything else out new?

 

It's not necessary to change any of it, unless it's worn out.

 

I don't think you need to change the pit-man arm, I never have.

 

The pitman arm is just a dumb lump of cast iron, there's no joints in it.

 

My steering is very loose, this is why I want to change it. It still has the original one. So what else might not need changing? What are the important ones to change?

 

Quick question hope someone can answer ASAP so I can order for tomorrow. I ordered all the parts above. Do I need to purchase ball joints too??? If so I just need two lower ball joints?

 

If someone can correct me. I think the new tie rods come with the ball joints already?

 

tie rods and ball joints are completly different and seperate parts . good luck .
