Tie rod question

[19stepSide72]

Are the outer tie rods left hand thread? Bought the CPP polished connectors and outer tie rods from ebay and no worky. Think I may have received wrong outers. Been told they are left hand threads but would like to hear from you guys. Thank you in advance. Rob

It's been a while since I've replaced mine and don't remember but check the old tie rod end (if you still have it) to see what the threads are.

I had the same problem, I put my disc brake kit together through Kragen/O'Rielly, rotors, tie rods, calipers, etc etc, and bought the tie rod connector from CPP. I had to go and get the tie rods from CPP, which are the same price as Kragen but are for left hand threads. Unless you go back to the original connector, then your fine. Cant remember one side of the CPP connector is right hand thread, so either the front or rear tie rod will work.

Well im not saying there the best, but I found mixing CPP products with stuff from other places or stock parts, sometimes do not mesh well together.
I think I made about 6 trips back aod forth to CPP and Kragen before I got it all together.
