2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Steering Stabilizer Links

Steering Stabilizer Links or just bushing?

The inside of my front Tires are wearing out, I brought it to two places, one told me nothing was wrong, and the other told me it's the Steering Stabilizer Links.

Would the Steering Stabilizer Links make my tires wear like that?

And Napa said they only carry the Bushings. Would I need the Links or just the four Bushing?

The only time I've seen the stabilizer bar links or bushings fail is if there is oil leaking on them, then they get soft and melt. In that case I've just replaced the rubber parts, I would think that's all you need to do also. Sounds more like your tire wear is from too much tow in or a worn track bar.

Thanks Bill

Well, my Puke hose was broken for a while and spewed crap everywhere so I wouldn't doubt if they got oil on them. Also the person I spoke to a Napa was an idiot (big surprise) I went in today and picked up a Track bar (DS1413) and the Steering Stabilizer Links (complete). Hopefully this and an alignment will take care of my shimmy at 60 and my tire wear.
