Spindle / Tie Rod Question

73-87 Spindles (I have the CPP Mods)

What is the diameter of the Tie Rod hole?

Is it tapered?

If so, what is the degree of taper?

Thanks guys.....

Sorry,... I can't help on the taper size of the spindle hole.
It is definitely tapered.

What year truck are you working on?
I would swap tie rods or spindles to get the correct fit,... before I would ream the tie rod hole in the spindle.

The modular spindles take a 73-87 tie rod and ball joints.

Is this the information your are looking for? This guy used 1.5" per foot (7degree) in his build to retain the stock tie rod ends.
