Hello All, When you change the original ball and stud to newer style tie rods, I understand you need to drill out the ball and stud on the steering arms, just enough to drive them out. My questions is, on the tie rods, they are tapered. Do I need to have the hole reamed out for the tie rods? Who sell's a reamer for this? Just wondering. Thanks for your help. Mike
I dunno but I am sure in Fresno there's gotta be a frame & suspension shop that'll have the tools and welding experiance to do this correctly....
You can get adjustable reamers that do certain sizes, you just wind a nut up to get the size you want and you can also play around with them to get a taper too, ________ Threesome Nurse
FYI... once the ball and stud are driven out of the steering arm, they (steering arms) do not need to be reamed. The replacement tie rods fit nice and snug. Mike
