    V8 ZJ Tierod Upgrade

    Your drag link is adjustable, you could get a new end for it and grease it up good while doing the zj tie rod. The zj tie rod is much better IMO and stronger.

    Which Party

    Romney, but not because I really like him. Like it was said before it is the lesser of two evils. Most of my Railroad (union) co-workers disagree but that is mainly because they all think that Republicans...mostly Ryan at this point are trying to steal their Railroad retirement.

Fuel pump and filter are a good option also. PRO5.0 has good injectors for a good price FYI. Call them if and explain what you...
