Tie Rod End & Drag Link Advice

[Rustedjunk]

I just got the left and right spindles off my 47 ford rather easily. Thank you Lord. I noticed my tire rod ends look a little weathered and my drag link ends. Do I replace them, or should I rebuild them? The tie rod ends look rather easy to replace, but I've never dealt with these drag link ends before.

Did you check for play in the drag link and tie rod ends before disconnecting. In any case, it is easy and relatively cheap to replace the drag link and tie rod ends. They are not designed to be rebuilt.

Both parts are over 40 years old. I would assume just replacing them then.
