Ok. I'm kinda being lazy here but wanted to pick the minds to make it easier. In the photos the lower steering linkage is loose (bottom bar with ring on the end connected to knuckle) and needs replacement. To fix this is it just a bushing inside? Is it unscrewing the end like replacing a tie rod? Any info appreciated.

Right outer tie rod. Haha

 

Any opinions on Duralast brand from AutoZone? Would like to tackle this weekend and delivery isn't going to happen from a source like rock auto. NAPA wants $150 where I can get this Duralast for $85.

 

Stick with Moog suspension parts. Unless you want a lot of practice changing tie rod ends.

 

Ok, still getting a decent clunk, clunk, clunk after replacing the rod end when encountering uneven terrain suck as pulling into a parking lot uphill where the joints will likely be stressed side to side. Definitely reduced the major clunks clunks and the rod end was totally shot.

So I'm under the truck as my wife is rotating the steering back and forth and noticed the entire drag link (top bar) giving a decent rotation/twist when cycling the steering. Should that be a statioary type of part with no twisting movement?

 

Check all your sway bar bushings, including end links. They are another common area for clunking.

 

I've been reading that. I will be doing this soon.
