 Subject: 2000 4x4 inner tie-rod end part nums
IP: Logged
Message:
OK, I know there's *some* way to solve this...
My 4x4 Y2kota now has new upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends. In the process of putting this stuff in, I could tell that the inner tie on the right side is definitely on the way out too.
Of course, no one has these because rack & pinion was new in this year, dealer wants $710 for the whole %^&% rack, yadda, yadda, and so forth.
I do know this: the Federal-Mogul (Moog) web site shows a TRW number of ES3263 for these parts, but good luck finding TRW anyplace local. One online part source shows a Moog EV432 (almost ordered, but their e-business site looks really insecure). Not found them anyplace else yet, and I'd really like to confirm that they're correct anyway.
I'm sure someone's done these by now. If you have, can you tell me if either of these part numbers is valid, and where you got them?
I have a strong suspicion that these parts are just now getting released to the public, and the references aren't quite up to date yet. I hope that's the case.
After I solve this, I need to figure out where I can get new outer CV joints for the Delphi/Saginaw half-shafts in it, but that can wait awhile...
