Tie Rod issues

alarm_the_alarm · 10-18-2009, 10:27 PM

Hello

i was wondering what a good tie rod is for my reg cab 4.3 2wd.

I was also wondering if there was a place where you can buy all tie rods, ball joints, center link all in one package.

Its just wayy more money then i thought it was gonna be for good tie rods so im tring to find a package that gives you a little price break

Also if theres a good polyurithan kit. If im gonna do it i want to do it right the first time ya know.

Thanks guys

I have bought a big amount of parts off of ebay and they have all been quality with lifetime warranty. The key is to use paypal because they WILL warrant your purchase especially if the seller says yes won't do it even though it was in the selling post. They will give you your money back and ban him from Ebay. To each his own I guess.

Go with steel rod with heim end, then center link from local auto store with lifetime warranty and you're set.

No comparison. We use higher quality steel than the competition, better heat treat processes, and a better design.
