In need on steering link Part# 5137H I will try and put this back together and then peen it with a punch to get me by for now. Anyone out there have a decent one for sale?

No, I don't have one, but I have seen those cut off, and the ball end that fell out welded on the shank to get 3/8 fine threads, then a universal tie rod end threaded on and adjusted to length.

If you are at all "handy" linkage ball joints are available from many sources, McMaster.com, for one.

Get two that will fit the holes in the steering arms, cut a length of threaded rod that fits the female threads to length, then cut a piece of pipe or tubing that fits over the threaded rod to length and it it over the threaded rod, tighten the new ball joints down against the tube. You new have a complete new link, and not REAL expensive to do.

Alternately, if you are equipped to well or have a friend that is, measure the c-to-c length, cut the ends off of the link you have now, and well new ball joint units to the ends, matching the c-to-c dimension to the old one.

Wrap a wet rag around the ball end to keep it cooler while welding.

Either "fix will be "as good as new".

Thanks Bob & trk those are excellent ideas. Will probably order the linkage ball joints off Mcmaster.
