On the line.. meaning: When something is “on the line” it means something is at risk, something can be lost. If you have a lot on the line, you care about it. You might lose something.

So what's the problem CO?

You need an out..to disappear?

Default Tie rods and ball joints

I have a 2001 f150 4wd and I'm having trouble finding reliable tie rods and ball joints Im going through them like crazy. I do have a 2.5 lift with 35s. I'm trying to find upgraded parts but I can't find anything.

You won't
Ford or Moog are the best IMO
Any vehicle that is sitting higher than stock will wear out front end parts faster
I used to replace those ball joints under base 3 / 36 warranty (they never were real tough)

Mevotech's TTX series is a much better design over stock.

I have some of those coming for a 04 Expedition I need to overhaul the suspension on next week
I hope they are better
I generally just use the AutoZone Gold parts that are lifetime warranty for my clients
None last forever
