The more and more I look at the F150 end links they seem like a good option, but what scares me is how long they are compared to stock ones, don't think I can simply just drill a hole on the side of the lower arm and not have issues... might be wrong

my new end links are stock 4x4 end links I got off ebay ( they are shorter than stock truck ) and made my own custom length spacers for the middle . they work very well w/MMW arms

Thanks Marc, I think I've decided to give the camaro end links a shot and see how they work out. My front is still laying on inner fenders so I don't see a whole lot of issues with binding but we shall see. I just really want to get my sway bar bag on, glad I never got rid of it...

Once I tackle the project to fully lay out the truck on flat frame I will go with a more permanent fix since there will be so much more travel.

I asked a shop for a quote and they said 770 just for labor plus parts...daaammm I really didnt want to try doing this repair...but I might not have a choice...I dont have the tools ao I w poo uld have to be buying them or renting them from auto parts store...to take fan off and pullies and the harmonic balancer....

I havent really found a good right up to do thia job that is also why I am hesitant

 

[S10dude]

rent tools and the rest is easy , take your time and read a repair manual...

 

[KaliDime]

thanks marc,

I hope I can do it lol getting a quote for 770 bucks for this job is probably motivation enough to keep at it and getting this truck running on my own haha

You should be able to do that job in half a day, 770 is way too much. You'll need a harmonic balancer puller (can rent from Auto Zone), and the rest should be no different from changing a water pump. Depending on the mileage, you may want to look into going ahead and doing the water pump since it will already be off, and possibly the timing set if you find excessive slack in the chain or worn gears once you're in there.
