so i want to switch to the bigger tie rods

i ordered two of ES352R, ES355RL and the sleeve ES440S.

I'm just hopeing i didn't goof and order the wrong parts.

That's what I used in a '64 Valiant.



Here's a previous discussion:

ok i feel a little better that i have got the rights parts but whats up with ES355L is this the same has ES355RL?

I saved the labels. Moog ES440S, ES352R, and, yes, ES355RL.

ok i got my parts and they look just look those in your picture. but now i goofed i was playing with them and for got what one was witch . so what one goes inner and outer?

ES355RL is inner. I think it's the left-hand thread.
ES352R is the outer. I think that's the right-hand thread.
It doesn't make a lot of difference, as long as you are consistent, and can keep straight on which way to turn each to shorten or lengthen during alignment.

The ones with Right Hand Threads for the sleeve are the Outer (352R)
The ones with Left Hand Threads are Inner (355RL).

When you pull the old tie rods, try not to disturb the length much. Then adjust the new set to match the old length. It's hard to get it exactly right, but it'll get you in the ballpark. Also, try to get the same amount of thread showing on either end of the sleeve.

I got them from http://www.rockauto.com/

did i pay to much you think? i noticed that they have some good prices on some things and a little higher on other parts. i just placed my order for rear drums i noticed there $96 cheaper then my parts store. just hope there has good has the rods i got

seems good... I'll check on rockauto

I think I remember checking on firmfeel and their set of upgraded tie rods was about 100 bux too... they just have the reputation of being pricey but actually some products are priced about the same as other stores...

No I think firmfeel wants about $175 for these when I looked last time. I thought about doing this as part of my front end swap, but I think I'll just have a welder close the seam on my existing ones and call it good enough.
