Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1521183, member: 103"] I would actually just re-thread the 05 "right outer tie rod" and use it at the pitman arm but it's a wear item, meaning that every time I want to replace it I would have to do machine work. I also thought about machining the center out of both pitman arms (the 05 and 02) and pressing the 02 tapered piece into the 05 arm and then welding. The last option is to increase the taper size in the stock 02 "right outer tie rod" to accept the 05 drag link and using 05 "left" and "right inner tie rod" with coupler. Basically the entire drag link from an 05. I've only ever replaced one tie rod, they seem to last better than the drag links. The homerun would be an off-the-shelf combo. I have a 7 degree tapered reamer on the way... [/QUOTE]
