Technical Tie Rod Ends

Can anyone tell me if they make a tie rod end with the tapered hole in it instead of a stud. So far the closest I could find is one of those conversion ones with both the hole and the stud - I suppose I could cut off the stud side.

Not having any luck finding this, but then again I don't know what they are called - maybe I am just searching for the wrong name.

The reason I ask is because the pitman arm I had laying around (that has the right drop) already has the stud in it.

Thanks

 

I haven't seen a threaded tie rod end with a hole.
But you could make it.
The stud socket it the wearing part so they usually make those replaceable.

 

Yeah I keep striking out I thought it was just me. Might have to break down and make one.

 

sounds to me like you have idler arm....not pitman...
I see 63 66 chev trucks use pitman with stud...maybe can find something on LMC WEBSITE ???

 

He has a pitman arm made on the same concept that uses a center link with a tapered hole on the end on it's original application. I can't remember what application but I have replaced them a few times when I was doing front end work.

 

chev trucks...

 

Just trying to use what I have laying around. Starting to think maybe I'd be better off just getting a standard pitman arm.....well IF I find one for cheap! ha ha ha

 

Jeep used a tie rod end with a hole for a stud. Not sure what year, try 50s?

Canuck

 

look for a drag link with the right length and threads and chop the part off you don't need..

here's a '90 something Jeep unit as an example

 

Or alternatively, machine the pitman arm by removing the stud and make a tapered hole where the stud was.

 

Just get a regular pitman arm.
