XXX-T
Bought a XXX-t about 6 weeks ago, Ive notice that there is starting to get about a 1/4" play in the front end. Do they make aftermarket parts that can tighten up all the linkage so it can be more precise up front

Wow, that's a lot of play. The holes in the arms and plastic bulkheads tend to stretch, causing play. Also, make sure your steering parts are tightened up. To tighten things up, I use the gold shims from this package:

Sometimes though, you just have to change arms and bulkheads before they break if you want to get rid of play. An aluminum bulkhead, if available, really helps.

RE: XXX-T
Hey Happy,
I figured it out when all else fails look at the manuel.
I forgot to put in the little bushings that holds the pins, I also put washers under the tierod ball studs. Now its less than 1/16" play (if that).
