In the earlier thread that you replied to, I believe you are asking about the adjusters. I mentioned that you can purchase nice aluminum sets from CPP. I milled mine from steel round stock long before those aluminum ones were available.



Here's a link to RideTech's set...http://www.ridetech.com/store/compon...uster-sleeves/

Re: nice tie rods

that would be cool on my tractor, if there was a way to grease it... I think I will stick with engineered parts.

Re: nice tie rods

Did you drill out the taper on the spindle? I ask, because I've never seen spherical ends/Heim joints with tapered shafts.

They claim they are greaseless. I sprayed some lube on them just incase. They do offer ones with grease fittings but not the ones that i needed. They are pretty heavy duty!
Im not woried at all with these. I think I trust them more than the regular tie rod end. Most mini truck guys run them.
