I have a slight "pop" in the steering, tracked it down to a tie rod end and figured I would replace the whole steering linkage assembly. The process seems fairly straight forward, remove a complete assembly, bench fit the new one to as close as possible to old one, reinstall and head for alignment shop. What I did not expect was the dizzying array of parts choices on Rock Auto, some obviously not the same as what I have. I had wanted to stay with Moog, but the more I look the more confusing it gets. I don't want to replace just the offending joint, but rather the whole assembly as it only makes sense. Does anyone have any advice on parts choices? Is the Motorcraft or ACDelco a better choice? Also, is there an easy way to get the correct part numbers?
This is for the 94 4WD, axle code is C5 which I believe makes it a Sterling 10.25" if it makes a difference.
Thanks for the guidance. This will be my first steering assembly in 52 years on this planet but the task looks easy enough.
