I have a 66 c20 which has become almost a daily driver. The ball joints are original and completely shot, so I have saved up and purchased new upper and lower ball joints and am getting ready to swap them in. I am thinking while I am i there I should also replace tie rod ends? Correct? Is there anything else that would be "mandatory" while I am in there? If so, please inform cause I only want to do this once. I am not building a show truck or looking for perfection, just a safe clean truck that drives in a straight line. Thanks much in advance! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 | Check everything, tierod ends, idler arm ,center link, both upper and lower control arm bushings. They may not all be bad, but check to play safe.
