Tie rod and center link
My bushings are looking pretty bad on my tie rod ends and my centerlink. I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade my tie rod and go with a rusties tie rod(comes with the ends), but what should I do about the center link? Will it be fine if I just replace the bushings? If I get an aftermarket one what do you guys recommend?
And this probably sounds like a silly question, but will I have to get it aligned again if I install a new tie rod? Center link?
Thanks!

Well my 2 cents...i got a new tie rod from Iron Rock Offroad, and that thing is SOLID, and came with ends for dang cheap. I didnt touch my drag link, or any of that, but if you do, may as well get some beef in there and replace the tiny stock crap. I don't know about where to buy anything else, but i'm sure you can find somethin easy. Now when i did my tie rod, i left the wheels on the ground and made sure not to move them, and put my new rod in EXACTLY where the old one was, and didn't need an alignment at all. So if you are careful, it's possible, but an alignment wouldnt hurt either way just to be safe
