Tie Rod Troubles

Posted by Fred Murphy on December 14, 1997 at 02:51:50

I should have taken better notes when I disassembled the front end! Need help on the tie rod assembly. It would seem to me that the correct allignment here will make minor adjustments for front wheel allignment easier. Are there simple measurements for assembling . I know that originally the tie rod ends were not completely screwed on all the way,when I took it apart.Does anyone know what the total length of the tie rod assembly is with ends attached? When assembling the inside of the ends,it looks like my notes show the disk against the grease fitting area,then the spring,then the disk with spring holder,the end plug would be last with a cotter pin. It looks like I will need to enlarge the metal seal cap opening to fit over the steering balls.Is this unusual for a repo.part? Once the tie rod is put on,it looks like the rod caps will be very close to the brake backer plate,to fit a tie rod plug tool on.Realy need advise on this little gem. Again thanks for the advice and Happy Holidays to One and All! Novice of the North
