Tie Rod Adjuting Sleeves, etc
 

Hello-

I have to relace the Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeves on my 62 Chevy (w/power steering and torsion bar type springs) While I am at it I will also be replacing: Pitman arm, Idler arm, and Inner and Outer Tie Rod Ends.
Is there anyone who has done this install before who might offer some insight? It seems pretty straight forward, but could use some pointers as far as where to start and if there are any saftey issues with the other suspension parts.

I will be completing this in the next weeks (have a new leak requiring my immidiate attention)

Thanks All!

-Matt

The only thing I can think to add is I like to measure the length of the threads sticking out of the adjusting sleeves before I start so that I can get the toe set in the ballpark when I put the new stuff on. That way I'm not all over the road with tires squealing on my way to the alignment shop.:)
