crankbearing Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hey All, What company makes a complete front end kit for our trucks. I have put three sets of inner tie rods in my truck under 70K. They are garbage and I would like something better. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Are you sure its the tie rods?, I would think maybe something I'd wearing them out prematurely. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankbearing Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Well, The last time the front right wheel bearing let go and I had that replaced and we checked the front end and the inner tie rod passenger side had about 1/4" of slop in it. Now I have a shimmy on the drivers side and I have had the rim and tire balanced 3 times checked the outer tie rod, ball joint, alignment, wheel balance, swapped rims etc to try and fix it no dice. Front shocks are good. all the bolts and nuts in the front end are tight everything is greased. bushings are ok. check A-arms ok. it always ends up being the inner tie rods. Only thing I have not done is the front u-joints or checked the Torsion bars.

kissfans03ss Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Have you checked the ball joints?, when you say you have a 1/4 in of play are you squeezing the tie rods or grabbing the wheel and moving it left to right slightly?. As far as parts I have always had success with Moog but you could use OEM.Good luck. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
