    Drag Link tie rod replacment ..

    I think the vid shows the tapered shaft moving up and out due to the castle nut being loose, now its tightened down theres no more movement .. I'd be interested to know how often one replaces the tie rod ends and ball joints?

    Drag Link tie rod replacment ..

    It all tightened up really nice? I'll take a vid in the morning when its light. I thought the pitman arm was attached to the steering gearbox, if so you can't see that end in the vid. The cast arms you mentioned, is that the curved one you can see? was your son's a modified one to reduce that angle?
