Mike...That would be great! Just to verify the measurements on your tie rod. The 47 1/2" I measured on my tie rod is just the tie rod itself. If I remove the tie rod ends and have the rod only with nothing on the ends it measures 47 1/2". If yours measures similar to that without the tie rod ends, I'll take it! Also, the outside diameter of mine measures 1 1/4". I haven't taken the ends off yet so I really couldn't give ya an exact measurement of the inside diameter.

If I could mention the other question again pertaining to the bolt that was difficult to remove on the backing plate. I sure hope I didn't mess up anything. The bolt is out but I had to use a BFH to do it. Please tell me I didn't screw up!

Thanks...
