JStumpf68 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 I have tried to find the tie rod ends and the mechanic is waiting for a steering part which has to be installed as well to replace / fix tie rod and some of the bushings. They had to order it out of "old/new stock" from Washington State a couple of weeks ago. Sorry for the generic answer as I am not a mechanic. I have some mechanical common sense but not enough to repair this size rig. Thank you for the help. Yes we recently joined FMCA and are looking at the many options.

hermanmullins Report post Posted February 20, 2020 Stump, Welcome to the Forum. Might I suggest that if you have the "Tie Rod Ends" off that you take them to a NAPA store and ask them if they can come up with a part # that will work. The ones I have dealt with in the past love a challenge. If my memory serves we, most front end part on a P-30 chassis are GM parts. Good luck, Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
