I need Parts Recommendations for Lifted 1984 Sport Wagon

[jBUSCHHOFF]

Hello All,

Just made a 1000 mile trip after buying her 4 days ago in FL.  Took the wagon to Mechanic to get it on a lift.

Please help with Recommendations for the following parts I need to replace.  I rather put better quality parts and have it last.  Please specify Manufacturer and Part Number if you know it and any associated parts I might need to replace.

I need
- Inner Tie Rod
- Outer Tie Rod
- Pitman Arm
- Idler Arm
- Steering Gear Box

Thanks

JB

Hit up Rockauto for a 1 and done deal for all those parts. Easy to pull up and they have it all for cheap.

For the steering box I'd pull one from a Grand Cherokee or a Durango for better steering. Or was that a Cherokee to pull from...either way it's an upgrade.

Rock Auto parts can be inexpensive but shipping kills you through them. I've been comparing prices between Amazon, Advance Auto and a few other sites. Sometimes Amazon is cheaper, sometimes Advance Auto is (they always have coupon codes that really help) My last order was for all 4 tie rod ends, and upper and lower control arm bushings. Advance Auto had best price after coupon for $185.00 total shipped (free shipping) Same parts through Amazon were over $300.00 after shipping was added. 

As for steering, search the Den for replacing your steering box with the one from the 93-98 Grand Cherokee. Hope this helps

I got my idler on Ebay or Amazon for $35 delivered. Genuine Moog part.

Does anyone know a good alternative for the Moog pitman arm or where to find one?  I ordered everything and I received a call saying its out of stock.  I can't find one anywhere.

Did you try Summit? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-k3109?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAjwzqKiBRCAydTZzOLi9CISJACm3irWfg9DwR09nPA89tdHE8jGd5PmvAMR3t3ANHIUBM_y5xoCsETw_wcB

There's  a few listed on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=moog+idler+arm+amc+eagle&_from=R40%7CR40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmoog+k3109&_nkw=moog+k3109&_sacat=0

I got mine off evilbay or Amazon

Eaglefreek, Thanks but wrong part.  I need a Moog Pitman Arm K3055.

I've looked on ebay and Amazon, but no luck.  Anyone have an link for a reputable Auto Parts store with it in stock.

Does anyone know if Rare Parts Inc. are good parts.  I read somewhere they buy the tooling from Moog on discontinued parts.
If that's true, I don't know.

Rockauto lists a MEVOTECH Part # MK3055 part for the eagle. When you go into the info for the part, it gives an alternate part number of K3055. I suspect its a re-boxed MOOG part. Only two left though.

[eaglefreek]

Sorry, I somehow missed the pitman arm part.    Mevotech are import parts. I would say go with the Raybestos Professional Grade, but they may also may be imports also, but hopefully better quality.

[jBUSCHHOFF]

Mevotech uses the same part numbers as Moog and other better part companies.

[jBUSCHHOFF]

Never mind Guys.  I found the Moog Pitman Arm.

I'm just waiting on the Grand Cherokee steering box and I can fix the steering.

Thanks

Check the pitman angle to the Grand Cherokee one.
