New Steering Linkage

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

I have decided to replace the steering linkage in the Gremlin. All 
the ball joints appear to be worn out, and the tie rods are in sad 
shape as well. I ordered all new parts from a place called "American 
Parts Depot out of Ohio. The man on the phone stated that he had been 
selling AMC parts for 15 years, had 200 parts cars, and got most of 
his new parts from the same companies that manufactured them 
originally for AMC. His prices were competitive also (I shopped 
around for best prices). I also ordered front suspension parts and a 
couple of reproduction stickers for the engine bay - thought this 
would be a nice finishing touch. I figure that the $200 will be well-
spent money knowing my front end is in excellent condition. Not to 
mention how difficult it would be to work on this area of the car 
after the engine has been installed. Time to get busy! -Lu-
