bad shacking in steering

Ok, the old is getting pretty bad. Nearly to the point of its coming off the road now..
I'm looking for parts but have noticed I have a solid steering rod, non adjustable...
First question, can just the rod end ball links be replaced?
If not, has anyone modded there steering rod to adapt to removable rod ends? If so how did you do it.
And finally, if I am to mod it, does the steering rod use the same rod ends as the drag rod?
Fyi, its a 91 gq coiled wagon.
Cheers

Control arm bushes done?

I haven't read the whole thread so this may have been covered:

I mate of mine recently bought a gu ute with sunraisers. When he reached 80-90kmh he would get a nasty wheel wobble. He checked the bearings and all bushes (he's a mechanic) but couldn't locate the cause. He decided to buy the original steel gu rims and get them powder coated black. Low and behold after putting them on the wobble had gone.

The sunraisers were balanced correctly. However found that the wobble was caused by the sunnies not locating onto the hubs correctly. I know of two other people removing the wobble in the same way. Borrow a set of standard rims before spending money on bushes and bearings.



LESS YAP YAP, MORE TAP TAP!!

I had a similar thing happen a few years ago when I had the ft wheel nuts come loose wearing a grove in the hub where the centre hole of the wheel sits, when I put the spare on I got wobble as the wheel could no longer centre on the hub, replaced the hub and the wobble went away,
