Church?

If you're looking for original GM tie rod ends, then online via Sam or Jason Cromer (sp..?) A quick search will tell you how to contact them.

Aftermarket parts can be as good or better, depending on the brand. MOOG, Perfect Circle, BWD are good replacements @ your local Autozone, O'reillys or Napa. Don't go for the very cheapest you can find...it's too important a part to save the coin on...

Sorry...no p/n's for you..

take it to alignment shop. if you replace you may as well mod it. check the AX section for better replacement recomendations.

When ever I have the car aligned for some reason it never holds the alignments. It always pulls in one direction. the alignments jsut seem to reduce this pulling..but you can fell every bump in the road...alsy my wheel has a bit of play in it? suggestions?

if it has play could be the infamous ragjoint. also what kinda tires you got, tires make a huge difference in which way the car pulls. i had directionals and the car was all over the road. even just after leaving the alignment shop.

555R's the street versions orwhat ever their called. But I had the same lamo problems when I had a smaller rim and larger thicker tire.


I have about 10% of play in the wheel but it only plays when your turning right. When you turn Left the sensitivity is right on track....does that sound like the Ragjoint?

Also my Lower A arm Bushings are F34ked to hell.

the bushings will play a part of alignment, it wont hold a proper alignment from worn out bushings. also those nittos your runnig is whats causing your car to go all over the map. those are directional from what i know and will follow the road more.
