I believe that is what it is called, the rod that has the tie rods on each end, mine is bent from wheelin so I thought I'd check to see if anyone has one for sale.

**special-K** · 03-28-2007, 06:32 AM

It "is" the tie rod.The ends are called tie rod ends.These are only available used.Make sure threads are in good shape.I replaced one for that reason.

msgross · 03-28-2007, 07:01 AM

I have a few for that I can sell. Whats your zip for shipping? Do you need one with a steering stabilizer hole on the end or center? (or none). And what is the length of yours?

How's $25 + cheapest ride?

Luis_gz06 · 03-28-2007, 02:23 PM

They do have those new I believe. It is called Adjusting Sleeve!!
Brotherstrucks has those brand new for $19.95. i bought mine from them and works and fits great. Well am not sure if thats what you need but a pic of the old one would help to identify if thats what im talking about.
Well later, Luis.

Here is what he is looking for, I think. This is one of the three that I have, you can have the tie rod ends too... steering stabilizer is already gone. Note how the factory steering stabilizer hooks onto the center, I have one that has the hole at the end too...

chipflyer · 03-28-2007, 06:06 PM

I could use a good straight one as well, without the hole for the stabilizer. If you end up with an extra I am interested.
Thanks,

Jeff

msgross · 03-28-2007, 06:16 PM

The one with no hole is for my closed knuckle 68. what is the measurement of yours?

Will you take one with a hole?

chipflyer · 03-28-2007, 10:56 PM

Not sure if you are referring to me or not, but take care of teamradrz1 first and if you have one without a hole I would be interested.

Jeff

OK mine has the hole on the end not in the middle and it is about 58" long tie rod to tie rod. I have a DANA 44 up front with 3/4 ton axels. But nothing is in the hole and I bought a pro-comp dual shock stabilizer so will that work or do I need the one with the hole in the middle and do I have to have the factory stabilizer on it to be effective or could I use one with no hole since I have the aftermarket stabilizer? HELP

msgross · 03-31-2007, 04:59 PM

sorry for the delay guys, just got back from business trip.

I don't think that it will hurt anything to run without the factory stabilizer if you are running an aftermarket dual setup. It should matter if you have a hole or not either since it will use a U-bolt for your new one. 58" sounds right, do you need anything besides the rod?

chipflyer · 04-06-2007, 05:42 PM

Hey ms,
Do you have one that doesn't have a hole for the stabilizer? Just a plain round tube?

Jeff

msgross · 04-06-2007, 06:00 PM

yes, it's off my closed knuckle. I'm waiting to see if teamradrz1 wants my other one or that one, just sent him an email last night... give it another day or so...

$50 + shipping (probably around $20 to ship)

msgross · 04-07-2007, 01:32 PM

did you get my email teamradrz?

va_tlc · 04-07-2007, 10:53 PM

Did you find out whether 3~4 and 1~2 ton tie rods are the same. I would think that they are but not sure, Anybody?

msgross · 04-08-2007, 12:53 PM

I imagine that if there was any difference it would be where the tie rod ends connect to the knuckle.

I started a new thread with mine for sale..

454_72_4X4 · 04-08-2007, 01:37 PM

The ones with the hole for the stabalizer are a solid steel shaft and have the tierod end made onto them on one end and an adjusting sleeve with a short tierod end threaded into it on the other end, correct?
Those are available new, (or was a couple years ago anyway).

My 72 has a hollow tube with threaded ends on each end for the tierod ends to thread into.

msgross · 04-08-2007, 02:13 PM

my 82 axles are like that but the 76 has one fixed end with a sleeve at the other end.
