How's the tie rods?

I believe there is a adjustment bolt on the box. Its a Allen head.

Has a stud with a nut on the top, put a allen key in the stud, loosen the nut, and turn clockwise to take up the lash in the gearbox, then tighten the nut to lock up the stud. Don't get the gears too tight, causes even more wear. 1 adjustment is acceptable, if you need to do it again, you need to replace the box.

Ball joints? At 120,000 my lowers are junk along with the drag link. I have all of the parts on order, I will be busy next weekend.
