2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 98-99 steering on a '95 please help

[PetesonM]

I am killing myself on this one. I have a '95 and am looking at going to the 98-99 inverted t style steering. Since my local parts guys are morons I am having problems. Here are a list of parts I think I need.



For clarification I call the part from the pitman arm down the drag link and the part between the steering knuckles the tie rod (which just happens to be correct termonology)



Pass drag link ds1459

Drivers drag link ????? (what do I use for a '95)

Pass tie rod ds1456 (has the 45* bend in it)

Drivers side tie rod es3496



I can reuse my es2012s drag link adjuster (right???)

I need a es3498s tie rod adjuster





I have never had so much trouble finding 6 little pieces as this. One site lists drivers as left the next as right, I get a picture of a pitman arm drag link end and it has an extra hole in it (like a pass side tie rod has on 80's chevy's)



Does anyone out there know the part numbers I need. Since all these are special order the stakes are raised since there are no returns.

I have a '98 that came stock with the inverted "T" style but I bought it wrecked and ended up with a '96 front end with the inverted "Y" steering. I finally got around to puting the correct stuff on there when some joints got loose and everything fit perfect with no rubbing anywhere. I list all the part numbers I used. I got my parts at Carquest (moog). If you are getting yours some place else they should be able to cross the numbers. I think you can probably reuse your drag link adjusting sleeve but I didn't. Hope this helps.
