| Post subject: | tie rod end difference |
What's the difference between the tie rod ends for the 67 vs the 76? I see Moog has part number 319 for the older and part number 401 for the later. I've swapped to 73-76 K frame and link, but I'm keeping my older 9" drums, lower ball joint for now. Will the later tie rod ends fit the older lower ball joint? thanks, Brian |

It looks like maybe the newer ones have a slightly different angle to them for the later center link? Is the taper on the shaft with the castle nut the same? thanks. brian |

All A-body tie rods and ends should be interchangeable, at least 62-76 and possibly 60-61 also. I have the 11/16" C-body ends and rods on most of my cars, which also are a direct bolt in and are thicker and more rigid. Lou |

Ha, that's funny, Summit sells the "older" ones for 3x what the newer ones cost... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-e ... model/dart http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-e ... model/dart brian |

I can't figure that. Maybe there is some quality difference? BTW, the C-body tie rods/ends are years 74-78 (e.g., Plymouth Fury), in case you want those. Best, Lou |

I looked up the Fury (1975) on rock auto the only tie rods that are listed are the 9/16" ones? Is there a different car that will have these? |

Plymouth Fury in 1978 is a late B body...... try 1978 Chrysler New Yorker I notice there are only a few remaining on the Rock Auto site. |

Oops, sorry about the body/badge error. Yes, New Yorker would be correct. Also, the upper limit on the year may be 1977, not 1978. Best, Lou |

You want 11/16" tie rods...just put it smack dab in the middle of the 70's for late C-bodies before they went the way of the Dinosaurs: ask for them from a 1975 New Yorker or Imperial.... that puts you farther back from that edge where some cars (Sport Fury) went from being a C-body to a B-body.... and weren't so luckily equipped. That's what I have under both Dusters at this time, and they were Moog Parts. (Dan should correct me, but I think that is also the only year that Mopar offered rear slider disc brakes on the C-body Imperial with the 9 1/4" rear end...) |

I don't think it's a quality difference; Moog makes good stuff. Might just be that they're phasing out the older ones? I mean if they are identical, then why have two part numbers for the same piece. Anyway, I got the newer 1/3 of the price ones. brian |

Is it the same piece, or is it the left hand/right hand threaded ends for each rod assembly so you can dial them out or in without pulling them?This thread lines it out: http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic ... rt+numbers |

| Post subject: | no it's not the twist |
I only posted one example of each from Summit, they sell inner/outer RH/LH threaded ends for both the "old" and "new" ones. The old ones are just 3x the price. brian |
