It looks bent and I'm going to need at least the tie rod ends anyways. I appreciate any input. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 | I installed this set up on my 51 panel. I got it from CPP , but it looks the same to me. I installed power steering at the same time; along with disc brakes.
Very happy with it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 217 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 217 | I installed the set from CPP in my '55, a year and a half ago. It was easy to install and tightened up the steering. Very happy with this set. My old tie rod looked like a snake. The one in the kit is 1" and is much better. Pics of the install in link below.
