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?

So, are the stock ones split and the replacements not? Yes, yours are 70's stock. The replacement is later versions of 911 types. 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. |
