…and to think spending $165.00 at that time was expensive!
The one reason I would consider tie rod sleeves is based a little bit in laziness. They're really inexpensive (unless you get fancy) - and they'll let you pre-assemble your new tie rods and match the overall length very closely to your originals, maintaining something close to a reasonable toe-in for the trip to the alignment shop. Then again, if everything is getting replaced, it might be best to tow it there instead..1. Complete control arms don't include Polyurethane bushings, which would be my preference (most of the time.)
2. There's essentially zero issue with replacing control arm bushings when you install Poly bushing inserts instead of bonded rubber bushings. Poly bushing inserts are enormously easier to install than bonded rubber OEM-style bushings, and that goes double for D-I-Y work.
3. I would not spend money for tie rod sleeves. The ones you have will be fine once you've got the old tie rods out of them. Anti-seize is your friend.
4. Center link and sway-bar don't need to be replaced unless they're damaged (in a collision, for example.)
Cunningham is good stuff. If you go that route, I would definitely use them. I bought the upper and lower shafts for my 2wd.Ah ok, Cunningham machine and Borgeson on summit sells rag joint eliminators for my 98 supposedly
I got one too before availability became spotty.I’d give a shout out to Kryptonite. I’ve heard rumors they are developing a new idler bracket. I was lucky to get one of these before they were discontinued.

yes they are worth it,also bilstein steering dampner is the best.I also considered getting a cognito idler arm support but figured I'd just hold off for now. Does anybody that has them say they are worth the extra money?
Cunningham is better.Ah ok, Cunningham machine and Borgeson on summit sells rag joint eliminators for my 98 supposedly
Agreed!Cunningham is better.
