I have a brand new (still in packaging) drag link/tie rod assembly i'll sell you for $220 plus shipping. it only weighs about 11 pounds so it isn't too expensive for shipping. part #202-460-0405. let me know if you're interested.

Ok for the flex dics it basically just seven bolts that connect the driveshaft to the tranny it located under the car right behind the tranny, you have to remove the cover plate to it. the dics if a rubber dics that have 7-8 bolts that is between the driveshaft and the tranny remove bolts, slide back drive shafter remoe flex dics, install new one and tighten bolts. thats basically it, its very self explanitory once you down there.

For the lower ball joint you have to remove the, shocks, sway bar, and top spindle nut that connects the spindle tot he upper control arm. then lower the spindle and then remove the lower ball joint bolt (19mm) that connects the spindle to the lower control arm then remove ball joint and reverse process. I forgot remember to compress the spring by place a jack under the lower control arm before removing the upper spindle nut and the lower one also.

Good lucks i really dont have too much time to go into nitty gritty details. but take a look at the suspension set and you'll see what i am talking about.

you'll need one of these from jc whitney to make it easier
