Posted October 25, 20186 yr So I was having a fair bit of steering slip so I replaced my steering gear with a Napa reman box. It is now 2 times worse. My front end is literally falling apart. I can barely keep the truck on the road. Dry parked the truck at the shop and I need new tie rods, tie rod ends, track bar, etc. I can’t afford anything to high end such as Synergy but I’m thinking maybe Napa parts? https://www.1aauto.com/2000-02-dodge-steering-and-suspension-kit/i/1asfk03897?f=1084240&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIicKHjd2h3gIVxR6GCh35qw-yEAQYBiABEgJgxfD_BwE Also found ths kit from 1A Auto. Seems earful cheap though. Likely trashy parts? Here is a list of the parts I believe I will need to rebuild front end. Please add anything to it that I’m missing or that I should include. Inner tie rod outer tie rod 2 tie rod ends track bar 2 sway arm links 2 upper ball joints 2 lower ball joints Edited October 25, 20186 yr by Marcus2000monster
October 25, 20186 yr Are you sure it wasn't just windy that day RockAuto has some cheap parts and according to few members here they would not worry about where it was made or buy whom. So if money is tight maybe you could go that route. I'm sure you already read my thread and what I've used.
October 25, 20186 yr I am currently running the NAPA pro chassis line for steering. I have a narrow 34" tire, and horrible roads. I want to say i have 2 yrs (roughly 25k miles) on it. It is a metal on metal ball design with grease zerks. So far, so good. Ball joints are synergy....dont think they offer them any more.
October 25, 20186 yr Owner Ive got both Rockauto and NAPA in my front end. No need for high dollar parts.
October 25, 20186 yr Bought a NAPA trac bar since Mikes happy with his. I get almost everything from Rock Auto anymore. I like the fact that you usually have economy, daily driver, OEM, and heavy duty choices. Buy it all at once and the shipping is very reasonable.
