Technical Dropped tie rod ends

I'm doing a search for a dropped tie rod end to use with cross steer. For some reason I'm brain farting and can't seem to find one. Any ideas?

 

dropped steering arms is what you want i think

 

I agree, you are probably looking for dropped steering arms which are available from most rod shops. I really like the ones from Chassis Engineering that fasten on with a bolt that goes all the way through with a nut on the other side as opposed to the ones that use a bolt threaded into a blind hole. If you are using an extra deep dropped axle and need just a little more clearance Speedway Motors offers dropped tie rod ends for Ford pickups that work fine on early Fords. Find them in the classic truck section of their street rod catalog.

 

sorry for the big pic, those are from speedway there are also tie rod re-locators or bumpsteer kits for different aplications

 

Do you think they(speedway) are dropping them, or they have tooled up to manufacture them or (and my guess) is it that they are from some existing application and if we could figure out what it was they may be had at a little less money from someplace like rock auto?

 

Some early Willys had a similar tie rod end. Late 30's?

 

Thanks for the replies. I have dropped tie rod ends already and would like the passenger side to have the eye for cross steering. This is for a quarter ellp. front end with the tie rod low and behind the axle.
Will search some more. Think 40 Ford may have had something.

 

I believe there is some confusion here. Are you talking about the eyes in a steering arm?

From what I am reading and as has already been said in the first reply, you seem to be asking about steering arms, not tie rod ends.

Please clear this up.

 

MOOG # 675

Though it's a Chevy part (with the Chevy taper).

 

Is this what you're talking about?

 

Looks like that one goes the wrong way

 

The one X38 posted is the right hand tie rod end off a lot of Jeep CJ's from 45 to 71.

As Rottenleonard said the Moog 675 has the wrong drop setup for what the op is wanting.

I don't remember seeing the ones from Speedway in any oem application that I ever worked on. specs on those are :
7 Degree Taper
1-1/2" of drop
8"length end to end
2-1/2" of 11/16"-18 thread
When used w/ tube # 91634-42.5 produces an eye to eye assembly of 49.5" length minimum and 51" length maximum

That will get you an inch and a half drop for 50 bucks for the rod ends.

 

The traditional dropped ones were mid 1930's Willys, now of course real scarce. They required a tie rod center with male threads. I think Speedways are specials, not OEM. I first saw them in some catalog of stuff for F series pickups...

 

This is it but with drop.
