Tie Rod End Inserts

We have 3 available options for tie rod end inserts:
21mm x 1.5 left and right thread, to accept 40 series tie rod ends or 60 and 80 series relay rod ends
23mm x 1.5 left and right thread, to fit 60 and 80 series tie rod ends
7/8 x 18 RH to accept the 1 ton GM hi-angle rod end such as the ES2027R

This rod end can be used at the pitman arm in power steering conversion

The 2027 has significantly articulation than the typical Jeep rod end supplied with "Saginaw kits" offered on the market. Where the Jeep rod end binds, the 2027 keeps on travelling

A heavier duty power steering setup for a 40 series would use 60 knuckles, 60/80 rod ends at the wheel, a 60 relay rod down low with the 2027 end at the pitman arm

I would typically recommend a Wagoneer pitman, as it is more robust than the CJ arm, common to commercial kits

Whatever you use it is likely that you'll need to have the arm tapered to the GM taper to accept the 2027 end. Taper reamers are usually available on EBAY. I've found both GM and Toyota tapers on that site

All of our inserts are designed to fit into 1 1/4" x .250 wall DOM tubing
but any tube with a 3/4" ID will work
so you can build your steering rods to any length you need
