K10 Tie rod help...
I'm having a bit of trouble locating a tie rod adjustment sleeve (wheel to wheel) for my 72 K10. The tie rod ends are easy enough to find, but no listing for the long sleeve. I had a little trouble with a chain and pulling my wife's car out of a snow bank, now I've got a bit of a major "toe in".....
Is there any interchangeable listings? Or am I gonna have to hit the parts board? Thanx |

It's not reproduced. You'll have to find an OE used one.

Re: K10 Tie rod help...
Has anyone ever had one made? Could a good machine shop produce one? Could the old one be straightened?

Re: K10 Tie rod help...
Yes one could make one from Dom tube, any machine shop can tap the threads for the stock rod ends. I do them all the time in 1.5 x 2.50 wall but that's over kill for what you need.
You could try to have it straighten but depends on how bad. If it's real bad wouldn't even try it.

Re: K10 Tie rod help...
