[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 435841, member: 19498"] The trac bar that runs from the frame to the front diff is something most of us remove. Far as tie rods, and the drag link they can easily be replaced. If the boots are shot then water and dirt and a lack of lube has taken its toll on the sockets and ball ends. Typically removing the nut and hitting the side of the steering knuckle right where the rod goes thru will knock them loose. If not a "pickle fork" is your friend. Be advised unless you get the lenght of the tie rod ends exact you should get an alignment done after. or you could always google how to set the toe and watch a puke tube editorial. Regarding parts, there is a lot of crap china made stuff to be had. Most of us try to use Mopar or Moog for stock parts. [/QUOTE]
