well I needed to replace my tie rod end seals. the tie rods were good, after all a 93 year old woman bought my car used from a dealership in 1969, she was 93 when I bought it from her in 2003. Anyhow. I bought new "seals" from "energy suspension" and to me they dont appear to be right. THe new dust seals just slide in place, but have no real way of maintaining there position on the seal on the tie rod. The old ones had this metal ring that snapped over the bottom lip of the tie rod end, I actually had a hell of a time getting the old ones off. I should have inspected first, I am an idiot. I should have heeded advice when I was told to slow down.

ANyhow I will enclose pictures of the old one so you know what I am talking about. This is for a 1966 dart 270.

where can i get seals that will work, or where can I get exact replacements?




that is the seal, it is old, flattened and torn in many parts It needs to be replaced.

Thanks.

there are tiny teeth on the inner part of the metal ring at the bottom of the seal. I know they serve to hold the rubber in place.
