Wiley Farm Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I need some help with my 1960 B613T. I want to replace both tie rod ends. Truck has FA517 axel with straight tie rod tube and male threads which are both righthand. The tie rod ends are female threaded. The left hand tie rod end came apart (lucy I was only going about 15-20 mph) and on the end of the pin is a number 5070 D. There are numbers on the tie rod end housing but I can't make them out. The tie rod ends have a 2 bolt lock down. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks, Dale..

leversole Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I had no luck finding direct replacements...the threads on one side is fine, the thread on the other side is extra fine...I ended up measureing the dimensions of the part that bolts to the steering arms and buying replacements that fit...in doing that I had to buy a new cross tube to match the rod ends...found all in the the Meritor catalog. Raneys truck parts in florida had what I needed. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18928-tie-rod-ends/#findComment-77232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
