does any one know the part number or the type of car that uses the same ball joints to fit lone star a-arms (250r or 400ex).

tie rod end, right hand thread. you will have to order several and check to make sure they have enuff range of motion, if not they will bind and wear out fast.

i think a while back someone posted that an older vw bug tie rod end would work. i dont remember what year they said to use.

The VW is for old laegers and jb a arms, they have a 14mm shank, rather than a 16mm which is more common

the old lone star a-arms run a 18mm shaft, old style laeger uses 16 mm shafts, the vw tie rod end is the 16mm shaft!

Haha i believe you are 2mm off. lonestar and other companies use 16mm shank while Jb and The older Laegers use 14mm shank
