Im changing m front and rear drag links tierods and ball joints tommorow
because they are all bent any good methods to getting the alignment close?

Do I need to use a fork to remove the drag links or can i just remove them with bfh?

and the last question... the steering stabalizer i have is a aftermarket pos and think its on worng to boot, which side of the shock goes where(does the part that doesnt extend anywhere go on the axle or on the tierod)

thanks

Count the threads and mark them. yellow paint marker, or if it's clean enough spray paint.. just to get an idea, then count the threads.

I just replaced all of mine and didnt use a fork. Just tap the knuckle to drop the tie rods, and same for the drag link ends.

The part of the stabilzer that spins (just the shaft end) goes to the tie-rod.
 
alright thanks for the advice this is the first time doing this except for the ball joints i have done them before... just didnt want to screw anything up too bad until i can get an alignment
