Default tie end assembly help?

95 5.8l 4x4 automatic. I need some help locating the entire tie end rod assembly, inner rods, outer rods, adjusting sleeves, and anything else needed If any know knows the part numbers. My first time doing it I'm pretty handy but any advice is appreciated. I just don't know what parts to order off amazon or what all I need.

Go to RockAuto.com and get Motorcraft parts. When I looked them up for my 95 2WD, the whole set was about $300. Probably about the same for a 4WD. Might want to look at Motorcraft ball joints too while you're at it...

Go to RockAuto, FordParts, FordPartsGiant, or TascaFord and get the Ford PNs for the parts you want. These may be correct for your truck:

Then shop those PNs on Amazon, ebay, etc. to find the lowest delivered price in the time you have.

Rockauto.com has never let me down. I replaced all of my steering linkage with MOOG parts and it's been great. I second the advice to check on your ball joints while you're at it.

I would check all the U-joints while you are in there, they are a pain to do sometimes, but no better time than when you have the whole front end open.

+2 on Moog and Ford parts

Yep I bought the parts from rock auto, tie end rods, ball joints and brake pads. Didn't think to get the u joints.

The whole front end doesn't have to be open to change the tie rods. I did this in <30 min:

It sure does to do the ball joints on the 4x4 model. Tie end rods are easy
