Tie-rod sleeves may technically last, but if you're gonna replace the inner and outer tie-rods, the sleeves are definitely the cheapest of the three and then makes everything brand-new. What's the point of replacing all the other parts and tying it all together with 30+ year old fasteners? Especially for a professional installer who has to stand behind the job.
Moog is good quality. No problem there. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] front end info needed In a message dated 5/27/03 2:34:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Today is not my day 8^[ On top of my insurance woes w/Hagerty, I dropped off the car at the local shop for a front end alignment and 2 new tires. The mechanic called and said that the car needs a centerlink, pitman arm, idler arm, inner and outer tie rods and sleeves.. I looked in my Summit catalog and the only option they seem to have is Moog. Is that a good brand to go with? Can I replace the parts myself? Anyone have any part #'s for a '66? I guess it wasn't all that bad.. They DID have the tires! 8^[ Thanks in advance, Jim '66 Malibu >> Moog are the OEM parts that GM used. I am curious to know why he says the pitman arm is bad. On Chevelles they can't go bad, they are simply fitted on to the steering box. Tie rod sleeves don't go bad either unless they rotted away.
