Dodged a head on wreck in my tow rig and hit a security post in a parking lot causing damage to the left front bumper, fender, suspension and steering on my 2000 Dodge. This was a few months before I broke both legs and feet in a fall. I'm just now getting to where I can walk on them long enough to work on my Pickup few few hours at a time.
Over the last 4 weeks I've managed to work on it some. Very painfully I might add.
I've got the left lower A arm replaced. New Rotors (because they are the original equipment.)
Replaced all of the upper and lower ball joints (both sides), power steering box, power steering pump snd hoses. But I can't find the center cross link. The Dealership is NO Help!
The grease zerk on the steering link just barely rubs the frame, so that's how I know it's bend a little Should have about a 1/2 clearance in straight on postition.
The tweaked part is the short arm section between the steering box arm and the right steering link is pushed back about a half inch. (Between the location of # 6 to #7.
It's the yellow highlighted part in the picture.
So my question is, Does anyone know where I can get this part from.? New preferred!
BUt I'll put a used one on if I have no other choice!
Like I mentioned, I am just now starting to relearn how to walk again, so hitting the wrecking yard and pullling one is out of the question for me. A Pick & Pull in a wheel chair is just not going to work.....

Hoping you guys might be able to point me to a good source for this.
Oh and yes, after I get it where I can road it I'm going to have it aligned on a laser alignment machine to make sure the frame isn't bent. Just In Case. The trucks only got 250K miles and it looks and runs like it did new.
Thanks. I'm usually on the Isuzu or General Chit Chat and Trailer Park. But Having bee a memeber here I know there is not better collection if minds who can help solve this issue.Attachments
