Hello all! Finally got enough extra $$ put away to get the front end done on my duster. It was really getting pretty sketchy to drive. Ended up getting a buddy who is a mechanic and great at suspension work agree to do it. He checked it out after a quick drive. Bought a new steering gear, idler and pitman arms, steering coupler kit assorted bushings etc as well as new upper control arms from QA1. Ended up needing a new driver side radius arm also. Thanks to Facebook for finding a guy in Iowa that had one and got it to me in Mn in a day! Hope to see the new motor mounts tomorrow then he can start putting it back together. Can’t wait to drive it!
