Outer tie rod problem - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

jonfish490 · 09-22-2008, 06:17 PM

Another issue with getting my car all pack together and everything is that the threads on my one outer tie rod end is stripped. I tried to find a die for it but can't seem to find one. I know the pitch is 1.25 and I'm pretty sure that it is 12 for the die. Also I do not want to replace the whole tie rod end because it is still in good shape. Anyone else ever have this issue?

For the $35 bucks or so a new one cost I don't think I'd mess with it.
A die like that will probably cost you that much anyway...

I agree, just replace it.
However if you dont want to, im sure changing the pitch to something more common wouldnt hurt anything
