Had CABs pressed in today...

I got the car back from the suspension shop and they said they were unable to do an alignment because both upper and lower tie rod ends are bad, as well as the end links. I replaced the end links last year with moog greasable FE5, just regreased them 2 weeks ago.

I replaced the Cabs with Moog Problem solvers, lifetime warranty because my old ones were worn and i had bad clunking. Currently there is still clunking after CABs were installed. I just find it odd that the end links are bad already. Car has been lowered on D2 Coilovers for 2 weeks also.

Should i just replace everything? Should i get powergrids or use Moogs again which are 1/5 the price? Should i use steering rack spacers? Sounds like the lowered suspension is going to put a beating on my steering components.

Thanks for your input!

your endlinks should be more than fine. As for the coilovers, yea there going to make some things wear faster but not that fast.

Did you get the correct bushings for the FE3 ? I think there different than the FE5 since the arms are different. (i could be wrong though)

Yeah bushings are all done and not an issue. They pressed in fine. I might just buy another set of Moog end links and tie rid ends. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Anybody have part numbers for inner outer the rod ends? I found them on rock auto, and it looks like both sides are exactly the same part right?

Didn't he also say to replace the entire rack?
