tie rod end heeeeeelp please

[Custom 68]

Ok all I'm on my phone so my searching will be easier tomorrow but I need help. I have my 68 that I converted to 73 to 87 spindles. I had all thus together and am now redoing the suspension cute to some problems so I know it's possible... I have the adapter from CPP to use the larger outer to the smaller inner. The outer I have is right but three inner had right hand threads and I need left. I had some on there but don't find them listed. I currently have moog es370r I can't find a "L".
Hope this makes sense. I know it's possible.

You are correct.
63-70 0uters installed in the "inner" location.
Tie rod adapter.
73-87 outer tie rods.

They don't tell you this when you buy the "conversion" tie rod adapter sleeve.

I have that info in my disc brake thread.

3) If you must use the 67-70 steering components, you will need to change the tie rods:
* The 67-70 inner and outer tie rods are a smaller diameter (5/8") vs. the 73-87 tie rods larger diameter (11/16").
* The 67-70 tie rods are also the opposite thread direction of the 73-87 tie rods.
* 67-70 inner is RH thread vs. 73-87 inner which is LH thread.
* 67-70 outer is LH thread vs. 73-87 outer which is RH thread.

3.1) So to connect the 73-87 spindle to the 67-70 steering centerlink you must use a:
* 67-70 outer tie rod (LH thread) in the inner location.
* connect that to a tie rod "conversion sleeve".
(these are sold by many aftermarket suspension companies).
* use a 73-87 outer (RH thread) to connect to your 73-87 spindle.
* Again,... it's much simpler to use all of the 73-87 steering components.
