Figured I should update, got this wrapped up a week or so ago. Of course only to find out it was only part of the issue...more on that later

What finally worked was threading the bolts back in and pounding on the heads. I totally ruined one and damaged another bad enough not to be able to use it. That being the one down side to this method. However it actually came out SUPER easy this way, so to all who suggested this method, thank you!!!

Now...can you replace the end on a track rod or to you have to replace the whole thing? And how can you tell if the PO installed a longer Track Arm when they lifted the truck?

 

that is what we told you the whole g)$ dam$ed time!



and no, you replace the whole damn thing.
