HELP PLEASE!!!! Steering Issues

[EVBuilder]

For anyone else who has the same issue I have. When changing the front suspension on a 63 to one with disc brakes from a 73 to 87. the outer tie rod end is bigger on the newer stuff. So if you want to make it right one thing that can be done is to get an adapter adjusting sleeve from Performance online which has the 1963 5/8" thread on one end and the 11/16" on the other end for the bigger tie rod end. Then everything fits tight and true and works like it should. It took a while to get this information but thanks to Aerotruck63 helping figure it out I thought I would pass that along to everyone else.

This is why I recommend using all the later model stuff. If you use the tie-rods & drag link from the 73-up donor that the brakes come from, you wouldn't need the tie-rod adapter (71-72 will also work but are harder to find).

Glad you found what you needed.
