Tie rod ends?

[Scoutillac]

What is the biggest TRE I can use with my stock scout knuckle? My tie rod will be 1 1/4" 4140 so I would like to have beefy TRE's on it. C'mon guy's hook me up...hehehe

72 Scout II W/ Cad 500 No rust,(disassembled)
Why? because I can!

[Scoutman71]

no clue but when you find out, can you make me one too?

------------------

[Old Scout]

I just bought all the stuff to make them. There 3/4-16 vs the stock 5/8 NC. The Drag Link and Tie Rod will be 1.25" DOM tubing with Left and Right TREs with poly covers. 250.00 for the pair complete.

Moog# ES150R and ES150L are the 3/4-16 tie rod ends.

You should be able to get them at any parts store, or here .

The next step up would be the 7/8"-18 tie rod ends, from a Chevy. I don't know if they fit the stock taper in the scout knuckles though. The taps for them are big $$. I'm going to be making tie rod & draglink for my Scout. If you wanted to use the big GM ends I can make you a set of tubes for $100, you supply the ends.

Moog part#'s for the 7/8-18 ends:

drivers tie rod end: ES2234R
Pass. tie rod end: ES2010L
Draglink ends: ES2026R & ES2027L

If one wanted a pass. side tie rod end with the hole in it for the draglink they would use ES2233L. This isn't necessary with a Scout axle.

My drag link has about 1/2" slop. Makes my ass pucker about every 10 minutes when it decides to go hard left or right with out asking me first.

I was going to replace it with a used drag link off a '71 parts scout I am picking up next week.

Is this ok, or should I just park it until i can save up the $160 for a new one?

I figure the used one can get me buy until I can afford to replace it with a beefier one.

[blazin74]

ben, are you gonna buy the 7/8-18 L and R taps?

Damn, you have a cool supplier. I once asked what I could get in 1.25" tubing with a wall thicker than .250 and all I got back were confused looks.

Again with this question... To use the tre's from the pic on top what is the specific size DOM did you used? (Not to sound like a jerk or anything)

I think 1.25" .281 wall would work good for that.

Yep, the tap drill for 3/4-16 is .688, so the 1.25" .281 wall would be perfect. <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">

Come awn. I was trying to throw you a bone, not spoon feed ya.

The drill size for a 3/4-16 tap is 11/16"

11/16=0.685.
