The black plastic peice that attaches to the linkage ball i pointed to in the picture broke right off the threads of the linkage, split in two.

I asked the local mom and pop parts store, they said dealer only.

I tried to get the whole linkage with both the plastic ends but just the plastic end would do. Help?

i had mine break and in the meantime i had enough threads to screw into on both pieces i have prolly run 500 miles and still have not got a new piece yet

 

Regular linkage parts , should be available many places , keep checking .
Also places like Summit Racing .
The you have metal ones , not the breakable .

 

MS Paint to the rescue!

x3 broke mine too. Gorilla glue to the rescue LOL

 

Go to a good hardware store and get a length of rod and some heim joints. make your own linkage.

The new ones from Dodge or Cummins have metal ends on them.

 

It was so cold out the black plastic end basicly blew apart. nothing left to glue.

so can i use the old rod and just screw a new "heim joint" on the end and be good to go?

 

Ya...depending on the rod end or little heim joint u get, the rod should be long enough.. Just make sure u take the rod with you, or know what the tread size is and pitch.. Don't know what the stock is, assuming it is metric..

 

The new updated version has metal ends instead of plastic. You can order from Cummins.

 

Theres nothing wrong with the rod itself, just the black plastic end THAT SCREWS ON to the rod.

I' don't have school tomorrow so I'll go to the hardware store and fix it, got a reall big true value place here in town.

 

hehe photobucket.

 

Results look the same

 

Has a wonderful write up of this fix...............

 

When mine broke I ordered it from the local Dodge dealer. It took one day to come in and it was the same part that was pictured in the link provided above. I think it was around $18.
