I don't know what these are, they seem similar to some chevy trucks and I thought I'd ask the experts.
They are female, RH & LH threads with pinchbolt, the thread is 3/4-16, it is tapered shank into steering arm with 1/2" thread at top.
I don't know how to post pictures, sorry.
I appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

Can you see a number on them anywhere?? I doubt it. I'm going through tie rod ends on my coupe!
I don't have mine in front of me but I can verify the thread size for you maybe later today. It sounds like what I've been working on they cover several years. Since you don't have Nash ends on it someone else has done what you will have to.
If a tie rod end has the same threads/size/length I see no reason it would not work... except for where the tie rod end goes into the steering arm. It may be that you may have to ream the steering arm hole which is done all the time. I'll check the ones I have on my work bench and get back to you...... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 98 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 98 | OJ, I would imagine that the OEM's used a "fair amount" of the same tie rod ends.

There numbers on them, #16SV189-F on both RH & LH, on the other side one has 6Y and a Bell shaped logo cast, like a ships or church bell; the other has 30 (maybe a 'o') with the same bell. I did find referance to those numbers on ebay, they show 34-6 Dodge truck and get some other stock numbers, when I trace the other stock numbers I get the chevrolet truck referance. None of the suppliers that want to sell the parts will go get one and measure it. They literally told me to buy one and see if it worked, they didn't even know there were RH & LH threads. they just wanted my debit card.

From the outside edge of the ball joint to the end of the threads is 4 1/2" long.....the thread is 18 TPI and the nut that screws on it is 7/16 X 20 TPI.
..as a side note: if I put my thread/bolt guage over the stem it measures 9/16" half way down the stem.
Here is a link to Filling Station. Go down to the tie rod and it is what I would order for my vehicle. 21.50 each and there is a left and a right hand thread.
Hope this helps. | | |
