Isn't the point of the misalignment spacers to make the tie rod end and lower control arm parallel to eachother, reducing bumpsteer? Also, your sway bar links are on the worn side.

Lol yea Ino i need some new bushings, And the point of mis alignment spacers is so that the joint can move freely without coming in contact with anything.
I've never really had a problem with tie rods. Did them when i did the lift. Had 1 outer have a hair of play in it 2 years later...changed it in the parking lot at work cuz part was under warranty. Look good, but seem like a bit of overkill.
You 2 wheel drive, if you had 4 you would know what im taking about. I was scared every time i went into sugar sand and put my truck in 4x4. They snap like twigs.
I've had 4 wheel drives...My buddys drive 4 wheel drives...I've had my truck in same places as them. Still never seen a tie rod snap. Seen a ball joint fail leaving a truck pull, seen a cv snap in soupy mud, seen u joints fail. Never a tie rod. Never driven in sand though.
Ive been through 2 outers and 1 inner.
all the ends look like that for everything.Quote:
