Steering.. replace just tierod or...?

[tribaltalon]

My jeep's got a couple issues. First, the tierod on the passenger side has the bushing blown out. Also, the bushing where it connects to the pitman arm is worn out. Is it possible to just replace those bushings? if not, what do i need? looking on rusty's offroad just has me more confused as they have the tierod for 99, or the steering package which looks like a tierod and adjuster.. isnt a tierod twopieced? the one i see on rusty's is just one. sorry, its probably a stupid question but its been a long time since i've set eyes on the front end of a 4x4!

is the TR loose? or are u talking about the dust boot?

no the end that connects to the spindle.. there's grease coming out of it.

I think u can buy just the boot sounds like thats what u need

my steering is loose though. My driver side tire is cupping weird, while the passenger tire is fine. It takes longer to turn to the left then to the right. and the steering is a little vague.

i was hoping to fix it myself, most alignment shops wont do trucks with big tires. any DIY alignment writeups?
