Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
Wife's C1500 Sub has new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm/bracket, and pitman arm.
Steering improved enough to make the slop caused by the old rag joint VERY obvious (11:00 to 1:00 slop). Previously it all sorta felt like slop, now that there's new hardware it's a bit tighter once you get past the "lash" from 11 to 1.
Admittedly this may be in the gearbox instead but I know this old rag joint is at least worthy of replacing.
WILL NOT do the Jeep shaft swap, this is a 99 and plenty of warnings out there about using it on these later styles.
Which Flaming River do you guys suggest? I've also seen conflicting info on whether this is a 26, 30, or 36 spline setup.
Any alternative?
