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.....

Re: Spindle / Tie Rod Question
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.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...4016_large.jpg 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. Last edited by Suburban_Tyler; 01-25-2014 at 07:30 AM. |
