BeagleRock Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Are they necessary? Will I get occasional clunks if left off. Mine were rotten and I don't know of any place that I can get a couple. RockAuto doesn't even list them thus my question of their importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would be but moog and other companies I've searched do not list them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I installed a set from LMC and they fit nicely. Whether they are needed or not I don’t know, but I’d prefer them to be there personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get away without them, but your ride quality and steering stability will suffer as having them removed with transmit vibrations directly to the steering wheel.

Yeah I'm thinking I want them since I went to all the trouble of replacing tie-rods, Balljoints and axle pivot bushings. Oh and brakes and brake hoses. Might as well do it all!

Oh and brakes and brake hoses. Might as well do it all! Industrial conveyor belt with rayon , but at $ 6 why bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
