Bent my Tie Rod on the trail this Saturday. A big bolder jumper right out in front of us! :facepalm: Those thing are quick I tell ya'!

Along with the Tie Rod I broke the D30 Front Axle. That destroyed my wheel bearings.

I am going to make a necklace out of the roller bearings! unk:

If this 98 has a D30 can I get the Axle, Knuckle and Tie Rod off of her? I am going to sleeve this tie rod for sure.

I thank you ladies and gentlemen.

ps: I will upgrade the front axle at a later date. I just want to get her back on her paws as fast/cheap as possible

Yep those parts are interchangeable. The brake rotors and unit-bearing hubs changed dimensions mid-99 and the steering box changed in 2003 but other than that everything on the front-end is pretty much interchangeable between '97 and '06.

Don't be surprised if you find balls instead of rollers. Drilling holes in those will keep you busy for a while.

I was motivated for my trip by this guy: unk:
