1930 733 tie rods, need replacements

Posted by tfee On 2012/1/17 14:27:13

I've finally gotten around to the steering on my car and it looks like the ball joints in my tie rods are shot. The balls are supposed to be round and measure 1 1/8" across but mine are .020 undersize and shaped more like eggs. They were packed with dirt instead of oil and no amount of adjustment will take out the slop. Both the cross bar and the drag link balls are shot so I need (4)balls and their corresponding bearing cups. The usual parts suppliers have come up empty handed. Do any of you have an extra set of these or a decent steering set-up you could spare?
Let me know
Thanks
