[QUOTE="Vman, post: 445308, member: 22091"] Unless you're looking at a much newer model it would all need to be replaced anyway. Stock cost for new drag link, tie rod and track bar is about $500. I spent closer to $1500 for top of the line aftermarket stuff, replaced the entire steering system, and got it regeared all in (inc purchase price) at that $20k mark. That includes all of the other little stuff like replacing sensors and gaskets as well as replacing the flooring system with Armorlite. Cost comes down to who does the work. If you pay someone to do the work, it's probably not worth it. If you have the luxury of doing it yourself, you'd be surprised what you can get done for $12k. That $12k of do-it-yourself would cost 4x that amount with labor from a shop added. You can always spend more for something you can drive off the lot, but there's no guarantee you won't be seeing the same problems 1k miles down the road. To each their own I guess. In my case, I have all brand new top of the line components for the same price I would have paid for a stock vehicle with no obvious problems off a lot. [/QUOTE]
