Thread: FINALLY heard back from the shop

I can normally get 2 years out of pitman and idler arms, bout the same on ball joints, but I have a lift, aftermarket wheels and tires on mine

I checked online at partsbin dot com and found this
2 inner tie rod ends $96
Idler Arm $86
Pitman Arm $80
Total $262
Not sure what S & H would be but that ain't bad

Thought your student could do the work, none of this is hard. Just be sure he sets stuff back close to where it was and go get an alignment when he's finished. Its worth another 20 bucks to get someone else to look at it.
I like your wheels too tick looks good but if your are gonna play you got to pay, specially with front ends.

Absolutely right. Didn't know about the wide wheels/tires. What Rees said.

I don't have a clue where that quote came from. I was agreeing with "G". I did talk to a guy today that was named "Murphy".

they are sticking out there Gary, nothing but a magnifier when it comes to stress on components.
DD, does you truck have a lift on it too, looked like it might be up a few inches?

Agree MOOG is best
