I have a 97 XLT 4x4 and have a lot of slop in the steering right now. I'm figuring that some of the slop is coming from worn bushings/ balljoints /rod ends. I'd like to upgrade them when I replace them. I don't really use the truck off road, but would like the added security of an upgrade.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good bushing / hardware kit?

I checked out PST, but they didn't seem to offer anything for 97 4x4's

 

I don't know so much about the 4x4 F series but I have had good luck with anything Energy Susupension makes as well as Moog for the ball joints on the Rangers I have delt with. .
