I run modified stock a arms with the removable tie rod ends

ford courier tie rod ends, are the best ones to use, be sure to get the ones with right handed threads, there are inners and outers and one has lefthanded threads, i dunno which one off hand

"I run modified stock a arms with the removable tie rod ends"


How did you modify your a-arms, did you do it yourself?

i cut off the stock ball joint bored out the center and pressed in a steel insert, put a courier tie rod thru in and jam nuts on both sides and lock her down


yes i did them myself, and no i will not do any for anyone, due to liability issues, theres alot riding on the front wheels and i don't want your life in my hands, i will however be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has

I am setting here at work, and for life of me, couldn't remeber what the heck the a-arms looked like stock, so thats why I asked.

However... great job man, and good idea. I am able to such things as that myself, so maybe I'll try it.

Any Idea on where I can get a really cheap set of stockers?

thanks
