I'm Awesome
I just ordered the parts needed to rebuild the steering system on my 98 2door Tahoe 4x4. I bought all Moog parts through Rock Auto. Came out to $500.88. I ordered the following parts
MOOGK6335 Pitman Arm $30.79
MOOGK6722 Idler Arm Bracket Assembly $29.99
MOOGES2838RL Tie Rod End $18.60 2@$37.20
MOOGK6477 Lower Ball Joint $28.79 2@ 57.58
MOOGK6292 Upper Ball Joint $23.79 2@$ 47.58
MOOGK6447 Idler Arm $43.79
MOOGES2836RL Tie Rod End $26.79 2@$ 53.58
MOOGES2004S Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve $8.19 2@ $16.38
MOOGDS1407 Center Link $33.89
MOOGK80631 Stabilizer Bar Link $11.66 2@ $23.32
MOOGK6329 Control Arm Bushing $17.29 2@ $34.58
MOOGK6395 Control Arm Bushing $13.61 2@ $27.22
MOOGK6302 Caster / Camber Cam Bolt Kit $16.68 2@ $33.36
Like I said, Total was $500 including the shipping.
I was torn on just buying complete Raybestos upper Control Arms to make the job go faster but the cost was an extra $140. I'll just pay the labor to have the bushings pressed out and the upper ball joint replaced. The ball joints on my truck are bolted in so it wont be too bad to remove them
Am I missing anything on the list of parts to change? I was going to replace the steering box but decided against it. I do not wheel my truck at all. It does have 33s on it with a crank though. I will be having this job done at the shop as I do not have a press to properly to the lower ball joints and the bushings. I also have a bad back and doing this job in the driveway will put me in a coffin.
I will try to post progress pics as the job gets done.
