Looking for tapered studs for my steering. I am using 3/4 heims. I prefer not to drill out the knuckles if I can find tapered studs. Does anybody know of anyone who makes them and where I can purchase these?

Never heard of tapered bolts, but there are tapered inserts. What kind of knuckle do you have? Chev/Ford/Scout?

You're right. I meant studs (inserts) not bolts. It is a newer Ford Dana 60 axle from a '04 F350. I found these but for GM and they are only for 5/8" heims. http://cache.speedwaymotors.com/eccStoreFront/product_images/Jess Tester/91636055_R.jpg

They don't mention what size heim to use plus who know's if the taper/size is the same as D60's.

That website says those are for 3/4 hiem but for f150 tie rod hole , don't know if it would fit the knuckle hole ?

are you in college station? I'm assuming so because of the aggie...any how. If you are, Xtreme off-road has tapered studs just for that. They are by BVD machine shop. Go check em' out.

mad_boi,
Thanks. I will give them a call Monday and see if they fit or have some that fit D60's.
