Tie Rod Flip And Tie Rod Materials

Stocking up on parts and the front axle is next on the rebuild list. What size reamers do I need for the knuckles to flip the tie rods on a Dana27? Also what size tubing do I need to get for my new tie rods using 1Ton ends should I tap them or use the weld in bungs.

 

I'm not sure if 27 knuckles have enough meat for 1 ton TREs, the standard TREs should be fine for a 27, 11/16x18 thread. I used 1"OD DOM .188 wall, 5/8 or .625 ID. I have the taps of you want to borrow them.

 

If you want to use standard tre’s I have the taps. Gerlinger usually has rems for cheep.

 

I will have to check what the TRE I have fit I bought a bunch of parts from someone and thought they said the TRE's were one ton Chevy ends

 

Cross referenced the part numbers for the TRE I have 2 left and 2 right for a Jeep. And 1 left and 1 right for a gm 2500 series. I will take you up on your offer Kyle I’ll let you know when I’m ready to do it

 

Just cut the tube to the length and I’ll thread it on the lathe, or you welcome to take the taps and diy.

 

Sounds good I’ll be in touch when I’m ready.
