Center Link Question
The end that attaches to the drag link is popping. Is the end replaceable or do I get a whole new center link?

Thanks

Does the end look replaceable? I am pretty sure you need the whole drag link. Its been about 10 years since I had to replace mine all in one piece. The same thing goes for the tie rod on the passenger side, you need the whole rod. The driver side tie rod is the only one with a replaceable end.

I have read that the link can be cut and threaded for a replaceable rod end but not sure of specifics of years, part #'s, or 2wd/4wd
