I gave away my entire front suspension last week, before I got my K member kit from QA1. When I took it out, I didn't pay to much attention to it.

first question, on the tierod, is it just the tie rod, then dust cover, spindle, castle nut, then cotter pin? There is no bushing?

Also on my 95' spindles, it goes from the ball joint, dust cover, spindle, .33 spacer, castle nut, then cotter pin? No bushing there either?

Just making sure, I could have sworen I took more bushing out than that of just the end links.

Another question. I have rod end control arms. Are they okay for the street? Also, my control arms have no provisions for the sway bar, will I notice that much of a difference on the street without the sway bar, since I have rod end control arms?

Shouldn't be any bushings... joint, boot, part, nut, cotterpin

Rod ends can be handled on the street, however they will wear out faster due to more uneveness in the real world compared to tracks and it will be a harsher travel for that joint.

The Spacer is on the Fox Balljoint to match the 95 Spindles.
