hey guys i'm attempting a HD steering on my TJ, the front is being swaped out to a D44, i'm using shakerbuilt arms and the big GM TREs that have a 7/8-18 shank, i need to know who i can get the left and right hand threaded inserts from, i have only come across PSC for the ends so far...

oh, one last thing.... is it possible to get the stock TJ pitman arm reamed to fit the GM ends?

thanks

I thought Mike only threaded his DOM otherwise I would've bought from him.
I got mine from Poison Spider.

what he said X2... Just went through this...
Poly Performance or Poison Spider were the only two who would answer their phones...

Yes, you can ream the TJ pitman arm for those GM TRE's. I got one reamed
from Part Mike and put it on my 86CJ7. It cost me $49 cause I bought the
complete arm.

I would not use those 7/8" inserts if you are using 1.5" .25" wall tubing.

The threaded portion of the inserts are so thin, that after you weld them you can't screw the TRE inside. I guess the heat messes up the treads.

The only way my buddy ended up getting his TREs in was to tap the inserts after they were welded on. He spent god knows how much on taps, which defeats the purpose of buying the inserts.

I never h ad that problem. Built 2 tie rods and 3 drag links using them. :beer:

How about threading the TREs into the insert with plenty of anti sieze before welding them up :question:

built hi steer for 3 rigs now, and have not yet experienced that problem.

welded some with tre's in the inserts, some without, never any thread warpage.

you must have done something wrong...

Worked fine for me and three or four others I know about who have used them.

Sounds like operator error on your buddies part to me.

I've gotten mine from www.mad4wd.com and their prices were awesome and they got them to me within the week. I highly recommend them.

I bought mine from Poly. Arrived next day. Also I did have to run a die over the RH tie rod end as the threads on the moog end were crap after the first inch.
