YESSIR!!!! Man o man! Im glad you tackled this. Like said earlier, check all the other "castlenuts" for pins. IIRC I believe there's like 8 pins. If you cant get to the rest of the suspension (as far as new bushings and stuff) Thats cool. Just check on the upper/lower ball joints and centerlink to make sure the pins are in place. That way you'll be safe while you stack front end parts and research how to do it. Of course I'll be thru to help. It doesnt take long to do at all. When you said you could push the wheels side to side when the front was raised, I said check those tie rods and center link. But man you got it handled now. Its a dirty job, but you gotta do it. These cars have been beat to death for over 20 years. And you never know what the last owner(s) tried to replace or if they mickey moused stuff together. Keep up the Sweet *ss work bruh!!

Oh yeah brah, checked everything thing out, from crown nuts and cotter pins...i even made sure all bolts were tight not loose like the driver side tie rod...lol...This scared the sh*t out of me on the freeway, and dont want it to happen again!! for sure Im going to be doing the front suspension now, I thought I could let it slide for a min....hahahaha...Just need to stack some funds for a good min before I work on the front suspension, but i think im ok for know changing the tie rods...

Thanks for the look out...

Dam Saint glad your elco wasn't damaged and you got those tierods installed... I'm glad im handling the front end on mine first now. I remember when cruising in it before i swear from like 9-3 o'clock I had absolutely no steering lol thats why i replaced everything, and got a new steering box and a jeep steering shaft. about the starter, it clears the headers so i am going to try and run it until I can by a mini one.
