B Body Tie Rod End Thread Sizes

[Go Fly]

Rebuilding a 68 Coronet front suspension and the tie rod ends I purchased a while ago have a larger thread diameter than what was on the car. Other than that the shape and size is right on.

Thinking its just a step up from original, and if so recommendations on the coupling sleeves and sources.

Thanks!

Thanks Doug!

Is it acceptable to run the 11/16 tie rods or should I go 9/16? My restoration isn't going to be perfectly from the factory correct but striving to get it close.

I am good either way. The 11/16 path I need to buy the sleeves, the 9/16 path I need tie rod ends.

Sleeves are cheap...
