Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 425888, member: 578"] I believe there is no difference in the ball joints 250-550 until you get to the 05 with its super 60 front axle and those do not fit IIRC. When you say the tie rod is spinning do you mean it really can rotate or is just severe play in the ball joint at the drivers side? But yes that can cause loose steering. XRF offers IMO the best tie rod kit and its the best cost as well. While you are at it check the unit bearings and ball joints. Get XRF ball joints as well. Moog is not what it use to be in ball joints or tie rod parts. Other things to check is the steering gear box. In SD these most times have gotten loose from where. Some are that way from the factory. Redhead or Lee are the best IMO for gear boxes. You can check the play in the box with a partner turning the wheel and watch to see when the pit arm starts to move. From what I have seen other than the unit bearings when any of the other stuff wears enough to need replacing all the other stuff needs it as well. Basically you end up doing a front end rebuild: Ball Joints, Unit bearings, U-joints, Tie rod kit. gear box(this only with the stock box as they seem to be loose 100K-150K) [/QUOTE]
