twiztidss Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hey I'm interested in freshening up my 2003 Silverado ss. Does anyone know of a decent kit (preferably moog) that has all the things needed to help tighten the front end (tie rods, ball joins,etc). Any help is appreciated.

Downeast Johnny Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I've not heard of a "kit" but all the parts should be available individually from any decent parts store. Good idea to go with Moog by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster1213 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I just recently installed all new Moog tie rods (inner/outer) and ball joints (upper/lower) for my 03 SSS. Can't beat RockAuto prices for this IMO. Let me know if you want part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztidss Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Awesome thanks for the help gentlemen. I see some places offer a complete moog kit for vehicles but this Silverado SS is an exception (most times when you buy a kit it'll be about $100 cheaper). I'll have to go the Rick auto route. They're usually my go to unless they screw you on shipping 3 different parts from 3 different warehouses. I figured I'd even do a steering stabilizer while I'm in there (I know you don't need them for a rack and pinion but it'll be less wear and tear on everything).

twiztidss Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hey I wasn't able to find time to do the front end yet. I was only able to install a steering stabilizer which seemed to help a great deal (I know these are only band aids but I figured it'd be less wear and tear on the front end). My question is that I've been browsing Rockauto and it seems they have a whole front end kit made by mevotech. It seems to be mixed reviews about this company and it looks like the bad reviews were mostly a couple years ago. Does anyone have any experiences with this brand? It seems like for around 400 the entire front end would be pretty mint (this even includes control arms). I don't mind piecing together anything moog as well if this brand is terrible. I can't provide a link since the rockauto site is finicky but it's labeled under KIT85 mevotech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't provide a link since the rockauto site is finicky but it's labeled under KIT85 mevotech I've never heard of Mevotech and considering what is dependent on your front end staying together, I personally wouldn't even search for reviews of Mevotechs quality. I would just buy Moog and be done with it. But that's just me. My passengers and my own safety is worth the hassle of buying known quality pieces one at a time if that's the way it's got to be, and paying the price for those parts. I wouldn't stress the least bit about not finding a Moog all in one "kit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
