Tie Rod
If you're diving into a classic ride restoration or just need to replace a worn-out component, this tie rod is a solid choice. It’s designed to be a factory-correct reproduction of the outboard tie rod that connects right to your wheel spindle. One end has a threaded adjuster sleeve, while the other features a ball-joint connection to the spindle. This means you can easily get it adjusted just right for your steering setup.
What’s great about this tie rod is its versatility. You can install it on either the driver side or passenger side spindle, making it a flexible option for those of us with manual steering setups. No need to hunt down separate parts for each side; this one does the job.
When you throw this tie rod on your ride, you’re not just slapping on a replacement part. It’s a direct-fit piece that brings back the original look and feel of your steering system. The OE-spec dimensions and angles ensure that your steering geometry stays spot on, so you can enjoy that classic driving experience without any hiccups.
Now, let’s get into some specifics. This tie rod is right-hand threaded and works perfectly with cars equipped with an Inline-6 engine. If you’re looking for a reference number, you can cross-check it with p/n: ES317R. It’s made from durable steel and comes in a sleek black finish, blending right in with your undercarriage.
In terms of fitment, this piece is compatible with a handful of classic Ford models. We're talking about the Ford Falcon from 1960 to 1965, the Mustang from 1965 to 1966, the Ranchero from 1960 to 1965, and the Mercury Comet from 1960 to 1965. So if you’ve got one of these beauties, this tie rod is ready to help you keep it on the road.
