Sounds like tie rod ends to me. But, it could be an idler arm. With an independent front suspension you have a lot more moving parts. Ask Chris to send you an exploded view of the front suspension items and then send it to me so we can post them here for our members.


Did anyone ever get this drawing? I'd love to see it.... Also Jim, how much were those kits?

Frowner Update on the front end work.... not good money wise, however safety wise and ride wise it will be like new again.
The mechanic advised both upper & lower ball joints need to be replaced and the outer tie rod ends. So again I am waiting for a call back from Chris at M.C.R.

He did say the idler arm sets he replaced were badly worn.
I'll keep you updated as the progress goes on.
