Finally changed out my track bar bolts. PITA! took forever to break the factory bolts free. Anyways, discovered the drag link ball joints to be completely shot. Anyone know of a good place to buy replacements that are not too expensive? what brand? I have all the tools and presses needed to install. Big thanks to planman for his detailed videos!

 

or should i just buy a new draglink?

 

I'm sure many of you all have replaced these before.... any suggestions?

 

Thnx again!

 

So basically the drag link flip kit replaces the drop pitman arm? If I were to purchase the evo flip kit I would have to only purchase one ball joint since the provided drag link fits into the existing end correct? Sorry for the newb questions.

 

Alright guys, finally ordered my drag link flip and a new SS. Havent had a chance to install the parts yet. I have a video of my front end with my wife is turning the wheel left to right.... at around 40 seconds in you can clearly see the axel moving from side to side... If you suspension pro's dont mind can you take a look at the short clip and let me know if anything besides the drag link catches your eye???

I'd like to jump in on this thread. Had mine in for inspection yesterday and was informed that my tie rod ends and drag link ends are shot. Ball joints are going too. I'm running a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift with 35's on an '08 2 dr. Any suggestions on parts would be appreciated. I would be interested in any worthwhile upgrade suggestions since I'll have to anti up anyway. Thanks.

 

Bump to help us out.....

 

Bump again. Where are all the "know it all" suspension guys when we need 'em?

 

Thanks again sir! I did your entire test before the video with the stabilizer off. When I was at the dealer the parts guy was telling me my drag link was fine and trac bar was shot.... He told me I wasted my money on the flip kit.. I'm pretty sure he was wrong.. Which ever is shot or both it cant hurt to beefen things up... Now I just need some time off to put all the new parts on!
