G'day all,

Just finished up doing some track bar work, and while I was down there I noticed the driver's side tie rod end needs replaced, and I'm having some trouble determining the aftermarket drag link and tie rod that the PO installed.

Anybody recognize this drag link / tie rod combination? I measured the thread OD on the rod ends. Its about 0.85"

Thanks,

I’m confused. Is it oem and installed wrong?

Nah its aftermarket T-steering. Stock steering linkage is an inverted Y-steering setup.

I'm just seeing if anybody recognizes the brand of kit by sight so I can find the right rod ends. There's no markings on it anywhere. Looks like a 1-ton steering kit.

Can't see the frame side track bar mount, but here's a good guess at the stock location - and the recipe for bump steer.

I'd yank it and replace it as suggested.
