Cost me $18 pulled it off a cherokee I believe it's the Ruff stuff gm UTK. Came with the stabilizer bracket and everything. Does anybody know a full proof way to check and make sure the tie rod ends are still good or not? I believe these came with moog ends from Ruff stuff. They don't look bad just the boots are gone if I can save $130 for a new set that would be great.

 

That doesn't look like Ruffstuff. That actually look like Rusty's.

And u gotta order rusty' tie rod ends. Moog ones wouldn't work because the threads are reversed

 

This is the steering setup on rustys website.




And this the steering setup on ruff stuff website



Looks like a Ruff stuff to me even the tie rod ends from rustys are not the same and the stabilizer bracket is identical to the one on ruff stuffs website. Also the y link that I have is a gm one ton conversion. The gm one ton moog kit looks like a direct fit to my steering setup.

 

Ruffstuff doesn't use two Jam nuts on each ends

 

Look at the tie rods though they don't look like rustys.

 

I had two set ups and yes at least older style looked like that

 

So are these gm one ton ends or no?

 

Hard to tell but why don't u take them to a parts store, ask to see one ton ends and compare/ see if it fit on the tubes
