I have also done a remanufactured rack with new inner tie rods. Steer outer tie rod ends(bumpsteer kit). Hoping to freshen it all up. But nothing has helped.

PA Racing tubular K-member and 03 cobra A-arms which came with new ball joints. I basically redid my whole front suspension.

im not sure it will fix the slop, I know that the steering shaft is supposed to fix slop.


you know at 200,000 miles its not gonna get any worse by putting a new one in, i mean other then the stock transmission (stock hp levels) I dont think any part can handle 200,000 miles. I worry about my oil pump.. as its the only thing that I have not replaced at 200,000 miles (and passenger side window motor)..

maybe somone can chime in as to the symptoms of worn ball joints..

My pass. side one was so bad it squeked or sometimes grinded when I turned or compressed the suspension. Turns out the dust boot ripped and let water in the socket and it rusted. New cobra arms fixed that right up. But, while taking the old ones off I saw that my front springs were broke so on went the bullitt kit. My problems seem to snowball when i try fixing them
