Tie rod replacement and torsion
98 Dakota 4x4 5.2 with 3" body liftwith 32x11.50x15
Do the threads that show at the end of the tie rod, where the inner meets theouter,have to be thesame on both sides? (yea I'm a female).
Passenger sideshows 12 threads and driver side shows about 22 ? Imessed with the torsion bar, not measuring the distance ofwheel well first and I feel like there is pressure on the front end and I'm having to replace front end parts after doing so a year ago.
I just want the height to beat a position that doesn't tear up the front end again.

RE: Tie rod replacement and torsion
Welcome to the forum. Its nice to know there are girls who love trucks as much as us guys do. No they dont have to be the same as the other side. The best way is to get an anliment they can tell true parallel and levelness of everything. Ya some shops will do it for a high price but shop around and everyshop should produce a reading before and after the readings. just ask first. or if you wanted get a level and make sure you have the truck where the ground is level too. and adjust untill its good.
