Sloppy tie rod ends, a worn idler arm, and a fatigued center link all compound each other, turning what should be a confidence-inspiring classic into a handful at speed. The Ridetech 11329570 Steering Linkage Kit replaces every wear item in the recirculating ball steering system in a single purchase. Built to OEM dimensions for a direct bolt-in fit, every component in the 11329570 kit is manufactured to premium quality standards and made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Is in the

The pitman arm is not included and typically does not need replacement unless visibly worn or damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is a wheel alignment required after installing the 11329570?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. Any time tie rod ends or adjusters are replaced, a full front-end alignment is required to set toe correctly. Do not skip the alignment — improper toe causes rapid tire wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this kit fit my G-Body if it has been lowered or has aftermarket control arms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The 11329570 is built to OEM dimensions. It is compatible with stock-height G-Body builds. Compatibility with significantly lowered suspensions or aftermarket tubular control arms should be confirmed with Ridetech before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What G-Body models does the 11329570 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The 11329570 fits 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, 1978-1987 Chevrolet El Camino, 1978-1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 1978-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1978-1987 Buick Regal, and 1987 Buick Grand National.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do the billet tie rod adjusters replace the factory sleeves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes.
