OK, after doing more research, I want to upgrade the tie rod ends with greaseable ones from McMaster Carr, upgrade the steering box with the bearing upgrades, and install a bearing at the top of the column. One thing at a time however....... Time to research part numbers. Is this the correct PN for the tie rod ends? 4444T931 For all 4?
As far as modifying the tie rods, if I'm reading correctly, to ensure it's correct after the OEM (or replacement tie rod ends at this point) are removed, I will have to cut more threads further in and then cut off excess ones? I think I know what you (JMech) are getting at.
Thanks
