Digesters,
Im a good bit poorer, and a good bit safer today. <snip>
I finally found one at rareparts.com, but I dont know if I want such a fancy
one. It must be made of gold, or at least chromed, or even installed, for
$106.00 plus shipping.
Upon hearing the price, my wife observed " Well, you wanted another old
truck".
Mike, you have found the Achilles heel of an otherwise outstanding
suspension. Absolutely everything except the control arm bushings, strut
rod bushings, and outer tie rod ends is obsolete. Rare Parts to the rescue,
just be happy you didn't need ball joints or a center link!
