I am a newbie so I am not sure where to buy the ends and link. I would suggest you look at your breaks while you have it apart. Warped rotors and old pads or shoes could be making things worse than they really are.

Its the same as a 84-86 k30 1 ton chevy. Built to 84 specs.

Also search " death wobble" on front end issues.
