Tie-Rod End Bushing

[Spun4Fun]

Does these bushing pressed or i have to buy the complete sway bar link for each side . i stopped out of curiosity at the ZONE and found that you can't just buy the bushing which i think its a BS ..

Can i press new busing ? Mine are sloppy , dry and causing my steering lock to lock to hit like a wrench in a can

So you just want the Rubber not the metal tab?
Looking at my 86 it appears there the same style that's on my Suburban.
these are energy suspension bushings.

Yup ... I agree that was the shop i wont let them touch my break system or ball joint because they quoted me $1100. I said NO . I done them my self with buying new tool for close to $300 but took the truck back to them for alignment ..lol


Can i just replace both Tie rod ends ? I seen some replacement at rock auto

I honeztly cant recall if your TRE's are both replacable or not I think so...look

If so start soaking **** outta them and keep soaki g with pb or liquid wrench etc

Alignment or toe in iz easy to do.

Anyway look and you can answer yer own question

Rock Auto = if there listed for your truck they'll fit. Count how many turns it takes to take the old ones off, screw the new ones on the same amount of turns, alignment will be awful close. Just don't turn the coupling, only the end.

Lazy ass Autozone guys can order them.

they got them.

RockAuto is a really good place. I just ordered my parts for the P71 from there last night... and the code knocked a bit off....
