I need the tie rod from a mini truck to complete my disc conversion. The 84 model truck I got the axle from was missing the tie rods. PM me at
nspctr1@satx.rr.com and let me know whatcha got....
Thanks

location???


btw, sor sells an adapter sleeve that allows you to run the 40 tie-rod with the mini arms.

Yeah, I know, it's just a starter bushing and I can get that locally, haven't heard of one failing or anything but, would like for it to be solid. I am in San Antonio Tx.

starter bushing?!

sor sells a tapered (inside and out) steel sleeve that makes up for the difference. about as solid as you're gonna get.

Yeah, I read it somewhere, probably here but, you can use a brass starter bushing to fit in the oversize hole to fill the gap. Some guys swear by them, I'd rather have the mini tie rods tho. You got'em?

Man a fre has had steel ones for years, never had a problem with them. They also make good trail spairs to match up mini and l/c tie rod ends. I would shy away from brass shims for a steering joint. John
