Hello;
I am finally back in the shop working on my 52 GMC 9430 one ton.
I'm currently looking over the front end steering which I have found some very substantial wear in the steering connecting rod or drag link and also found some severe scoring on the tie rod balls. I see where I can purchase a new connecting rod complete. The question I have is I'm going to need to also replace the linkage balls that seat into the drag link.I'm having a hard time determining which ones will work. I haven't pushed the balls out yet, thought I would do a little research first. Has anyone bought these before and can I use the threaded type rather than the push in type currently on the arms? I can't recall if the crown nuts would interfere with anything as the linkage moved.
I tried to post a picture but it looks like my Mac has a different file type for pictures which I'll have to look into.

Thanks

Mark
