as the title says, I did some dumb stuff. I was off roading at a park near me, and took a drop-off too hard, bending my rim and de-beading my tire. I put my spare on, and in my haste to go air it up more at the front of the park, I forgot to torque my lug nuts. I know, I'm stupid, I take full responsibility for my actions. Well, after airing up, I decided to go home since I no longer had a spare. About a quarter mile down the road, my wheel fell off. Luckily no one else was around, and I wasn't going very fast, so was able to stop without difficulty. during my wheel's escape, I lost all five lug nuts (found two) and damaged two studs. I took a lug nut from a back wheel and put the wheel back on, only using the three good studs. I then drove home at 25 miles per hour, in case it fell off again. (on empty back roads)
The problem is that when I went to put my wheel back on, I noticed a large amount of play between what I think are the center drag link and the tie rod. In an effort to make sure that my truck is as safe as it can be, I have decided that I will replace most of the steering system; both tie rods, center link, and pitman arm.
Now that you know the situation, here's the actual question: What else do I need to replace? and the secondary questions are: 1: are the tie rod assemblies the same for the driver and passenger side? there doesn't seem to be any differentiation on Rockauto, but I thought I should make sure. 2: Are there two pitman arms? I have had trouble finding a good diagram online, but the one I found for a Corvette makes it look as if there are. 3: Is it possible that I ruined the wheel hub? I know I need new studs and lug nuts, but what about the hub?
I thank all of you very much for your help, I am deeply in your debt.
