I don't have any of my books where I can get to them right now.

Question: tie rod ends, are they interchangeable side to side? Like I can get 2 outers, and 2 inners, and they fit either side? That's not what I understood from Tom Condran's performance handling book, but that's what it looks like from the NAPA parts catalog?

Thanks for the help. I hope to order them tomorrow.

The tie rod assemblies are made up of one RH threaded end, an adjusting sleeve and a LH threaded end. Same assembly fits either side of the car.

Sweet. That's exactly what I needed to know.

It's also possible to interchange a heavier duty tie rod assembly for more durability, I forget what interchanges with what, though.

You can use C body tie rods and adjusting sleeves on B bodys, don't know about A bodys.

C-body tie rods fit A-bodies too. I think they are overkill myself.

They're probably overkill, but so are probably half the other parts I'm using for my A-body upgrade...
