ya its out in the middle of no where  so it should be safe my buddies and i are going to go recover it tonight!!!  does anyone know if its repairable it looks like a smiley face no compound bends in it ive been told that its easily repairable any thoughts id pice it today at a salvage yard (55 dollars) including the tie rod ends then i went to toyota 100 dollars minus tie rods seeing as how my tie rods are brand new i thought about going this route i just dont have the money for crossover steering wich would be the best way to go

[79coyotefrg]

just get it as close as you can the measure your tires on the back and then the front to make sure its pretty close,  then make fine adjustments

i have the front end apart wating for gears. just have the tires on to move it around. if you look you can see the nuts for the steering arm are not tight. and the tire rubs the tie rod end. when we built the arm we didnt turn it enough. we did it with the tire off. nothing wheel spacers cant take care of.

Are you going to be driving that on the street?
