Everywhere I look at parts the tie rods simply use a nut on the tie rod end threads to lock up against the tie rod itself. Mine are different...the tie rod is split at the outer end and there a pinch fitting to hold onto the tie rod end. Mine is a 1970. Are these stock tie rods for my car or something else?

Look like a stock tie rod, but seeing the inner joint would help.

Here's a shot from PP of the replacement part. Everywhere I look, they are just like this one...no split on the tie rod like mine...just a jam nut against the end of the rod.

So, are the stock ones split and the replacements not?

I noticed that difference on your last post on tie rods.. The new one I put on looks like your picture from pelican and the old ones look exactly the same as the new ones.. 1974 2.0 but I can't confrim the p.o. made any changes or not, but from the rest of the car I can be somewhat assured he did not...

Identical in size but different in adjustment technique. If you replace yours, get turbo tierods from PP or AA or other reputable distributors. Not eBay. There are some cheap imitation turbo tierods out there. Lemforder is one of the good ones. |

The version with a lock nut with the tapered collar on each end is just a modernization of the original tie rod. Better technology. The single lock nut appears with the advent of the "turbo" tie rod. The earlier versions have to have a lock on each end because both ends have to turn. The inner end is fixed, unlike the inner socket used now.
