Sometimes they need a little extra grinding to clear the front differential cover.

Be sure you have a track bar that works with a lukes. I didnt know and ordered the lukes and found out i had a moog and it dont fit cause the head is to big. Dodge and napa ones will work. I was lucky enough to have a tdr member give me an old stock track bar. The lukes is money well spent and a well made product its rebuildable for cheap if it ever wears out. Be sure to buy the other end from luke thats at the axle its a bushing type thing that is easy to do at the same time. good luck

I just redid my whole front end (5 ball joints including the trackbar) in Luke's Links and love it! It is unbelievable how tight it is now. Just call him and I bet you will buy them because he is a super nice guy with a great product(100% satisfaction guarentee)! Oo.

how much did you have in the parts to redo your front end?

 

[TKremer]

the cost of the Luke's Links comes down when you buy 4 or more to $55 ea. plus you will want to get his poly bushing for the other end of the trackbar for $8 so it will be



$55 x 5 = $275

+ $8



Grand total for better than new front end = $283 + shipping



It only took me 6 hours to redo my entire front end and put one on my buddy's track bar. That is only 1hr per link and most of it was dissassembly. You should by a pitman arm puller and a breaker bar before you even attempt to start. The total job was really rather easy in my opinion. If you have any questions you can PM me.

I likewise did the entire front end on my 95. An incredible improvement, and you for all intents and purposes won't ever need to replace the tie-rods. A little tightening every now and then and that is it. Johnnie Laucus is awesome to deal with. I have to get a couple for some 24 valves in the family. I definitely recommend them. I never had a problem with hitting the front dif? I heard of a few that did. Not sure what the difference is?

Mine hit fairly hard, I had to grind about 1/16" off to get it to clear.

I need to do this Pronto! by now, I only have to file 1/32", I think the Lukes link has won the encounters with the diff cover so far.

I sprayed a little paint on the Lukes link and went for a ride so I could tell exactly where I needed to grind, I found I could grind it with a 4" grinder without removing it, if the truck was jacked up from the frame so the axle dropped away
