Steering Help
I am doing my front end rebuild and was wondering if anyone has ever rebuilt the part of the relay rod that the pitman arm stud goes into (no power steering)? A rebuild kit is in the neighborhood of $80 bucks. I was wondering what parts usually wear and what I should reuse? It seems simple enough but could use any tips or tricks.

John - I think this link will help, it shows a relay rod (manual steering) rebuild using the ZIP Products kit.

Note the notice on page 2, "Note: Our kit included the ball stud seat, which has since been discontinued. Because they are no longer available from GM, you will have to clean and reuse your old ones."
I was going to do this my self but have opted for Steeroids. Wish me luck!

That is what I was looking for. I just wanted some referance (since my manual dosen't have any on the relay rod joint) and maybe get some forum members feeback on experiances they have had with rebuilding this.
Thanks again
