Time to replace the drag link and tie rod on the d60. 2 years of service from a junk yard ain't bad, but they're showin their age now. I did a quick search and saw some motorcraft parts for a decent price, but anyone know of any companies that sell something beefier? I use my truck as a truck and a beat it off road so I wouldn't mind something a little more stout up front.
I've been hearing mixed reviews on moog as of late. They used to be my stand by for stronger ball joints, but now I'm hearing they're no longer the same quality? Have you heard this?
I've heard that. I would try XRF, 1million mile warranty. They seem to be great for our trucks and even better for the Dodge trucks and their notorious steering/ball joint issues. Cheapest place I've found and they were super awesome when I called with questions. http://mibearings.com/xrf-chassis-c-3837
I tried the XRF balljonts. Won't do it again. 1 year of service and the upper was as floppy as a wet rag. Wasn't interested in their warranty, since I would have gotten another one of their balljoints in return...and do not look forward to replacing it every year.
