it basically extends the length of the threaded portion on the tie rod end?
femal thread that screws into the tie rod end, and then a threaded portion for the struts pitmann arm? seems way too simple....for 200 bucks.. |

I went back & re-read the thread.
IMO, it's a lousy design. The bolt is not as stout as the part it replaces and is longer. The threads extend into one or the other joint (upside down or not). This allows movement in the joint. The standard tie rod bolt is "fitted" into the joint via the taper...no movement. One pic shows the threads were "working" in the joint.....the major dia of the threads are rolled over just below where the nut would be. There is no castle nut/cotter pin to keep the nut from backing off....unlike any other tie rod nut I've ever seen on any car. I don't have any idea what went on behind the scenes there, but sumthin' did, me thinks. The whole thing was just left dangling.....like the guy's suspension. I woudn't put them on if they were free. |
