Tie Rod and drag link replacement

I've participated in a discussion about building an adjustable drag link here (I think) and I also was commenting on tie-rod replacement on the FB site (which I can't find now)

So I went through my notes on building my drag link (assembled and good to go) and I did the research to replace the Tie-rod on my g108....

For the drag link, The ends are Moog es358l and es358r..... I got the 17" threaded tube from Summit and it is an afco part #afc 36187..... For Jam nuts, I went to my local specialty nut and bolt store and got two 5/8"x18 nuts (left and right)

The tie-rod's ends are Moog es350L and es370R...which also have 5/8x18 shaft threads.... You can get a 40" pre-threaded Chrome-moly tube from Speedway:

and left and right jam nuts from a nut and bolt source...….


Hopefully, this will be searchable for the next guy that needs the info....

I have a spare tie rod and a spare drag link, both good condition, if anyone needs them, shoot me a PM

Yes, In Silver Lakes! Not many people have heard of it? You must have been here before?

I've "parsed" the deserts a few times while trucking, but I've never had a reason to stop in Silver Lakes.... Closest I've been is on rt66 between Victorville and Barstow...

I priced these parts out today because I'm selling some of these pieces that I changed out during the creation of my cross-steer setup and I want to set fair prices....

Currently, the 17 inch Afco drag-link tube is $21, the rod ends are about $16 each and the jam nuts about $10, so you could build a drag link with new stuff for under $70 (plus shipping)

The Chromoly Tie rod tube is currently $47 at speedway and the jam nuts are about $10....

I'm selling the drag link tube with one end (the left threaded one) and two jam nuts for $45 plus shipping....

I'm also selling my chromoly tie rod tube with two jam nuts and I will include a clamp-on bracket for one end of a stabilizer shock that is a superior copy of the same part I've seen for over $50 by itself ...  $60 for the tube, jam nuts and stabilizer bracket...
Here is a picture of the replacement bracket I made in the same way, but for the smaller diameter tube of my new tie-rod....

I can definitely use them.. how much for all?

Sent a PM

This stuff is still available....
Lowering price to $60 plus shipping...
