I saw a Superduty at the Jamboree that had a crazy looking TRE on the drag link down on the knuckle that appeared to go all the way through the knuckle and then through another TRE that was on the tie rod then a castle nut. I have been on the hunt for something similar to that. if anyone has any ideas where i could find one that would be awesome.

some people do the same thing with heims but I dont want to run Heims in the steering.

 

i would assume it was a custom job.....i have never seen anything like it that was produced and sold....

 

idk TREs wear out who would have one made one off?

 

probably some extreme offroad shop....

 

did you get a picture?

 

nah im too stupid too. haha

i will look through all of maurices pics to see if i can remember which truck it was.

i know it was a 250, that narrows it down to 50% of the trucks haha

 

Zach you have a picture of what you are looking for.

 

i think it was on this truck...

yep it is.

 

maybe this is the new F250 tie rod ends, I will stop by the dealer tonight and see what they have. might use that on my D44. Ream it out to 1 ton.

 

looks like that is what it is from this picture

 

Yeah those look just like the ones on that stock 250. If the 450 is back in the shop tonight I will take a look and take a couple of pictures for you.

 

thanks chad.

 

atleast now you know it is a mass produced item....

 

looks to be. you can prolly get it at napa already.

EDIT:

ha or not. just checked

 

well its defiantly a stock part but it is not going to work, that TRE is like a foot long. id have to use the entire tie rod and im not even sure its the right width. so i guess that is out of the question.

it was raining i didnt look long but just enough to know its not going to work

 

Cut and weld!
