Time for a Luke's Link

Crawled under the truck Saturday, and had the father-in-law turn the steering wheel. Lotsa movement on that frame connection of the trac-bar.

We checked his 2002 4x4 and it was tight.


So I guess im gonna put a one of Lukes tie-rod ends on there.

Yeah. all my tie-rods where moving around too. Does that mean they need replacing too? I can grab my tie-rod and rotate it back-and-forth. Are they supposed to have any play in them?

Whew! if so, Im gonna be become a pro at this!! Sounds like a great time to put in those coil spring spacers!

Anyone know where i can get replacement bushings for my SwayBar? They look all dryrotted and cracked. It would be a good time to upgrade.

Try Energy Suspension for replacement polyurethane bushings.
