Check where your drag link connects to the tie rod and see if it is hitting your sway bar bracket

I got a line on an adjustable one, but the jerk won't sell it for less than $115.

It feels like the teeth in the steering rod are binding. Is it fixable? Is replace and upgrade the only option? I'm going wheeling tomorrow for the weekend.

Should have been more clear, even though I don't believe there are aliens anywhere, It's impossible for aliens to travel here just based on distance alone.

I believe God exists. Do I have proof? I guess that's arguable.
