Replacing bushings $$$?
How expensive is to replace:
1. stablizier bar bushings
2. radius arm bushings
3. Is there such a thing as steering gear bushings?
Do these help smooth out the ride?
Cheers

What car do you have? What is a stabalizer bar? I mean I know what a stabalizer is. I added one to my Explorer..but they don't typically come stock.
Radius arm bushings can bea a pain but typically need replacing once in a while.
Bushings are a few bucks to 20 bucks a piece.
Maybe this website will help you.

The RA bushings hold the end of the radius arm to the car. So yes, if worn, they will cause alignment issues. But you have a different suspension in a 98 that doesn't use radius arms...now I am confused.

hmm...Im confused too. Let me approach this from another angle...feel free to jump in folks!
What damage can be caused by driving (and turning) your truck without having the benefit of power steering?
As I mentioned in another post, the pulley broke, hence I lost power steering and ever since replacing the tensioner and the belt the truck rattles and I can feel it through the steering wheel....Im guessing I damaged something while attempting to turn, and I think it may be some bushing or another?
