I popped both tie rods off today so I could have my Honey leave them at my small engine repair place.
The one that appears original was falling off on occasion. I'm not real big on losing steering so I'll have him weld up a couple for me.
He installs the new ends on the old bar after cutting to length.
Kinda wondering about appropriate stud size and total length. Old one is about 9 3/4 long and the newer one is 1/8 inch shorter.
Does it matter much as long as they're close?
Also, the stud on one is a bit loose in the end of the steering knuckle... Just squeeze it tighter when I re-install or should use a larger rod end and drill out the knuckle?
