Hi Everyone,
I got a little impatient waiting for parts to arrive to fix a tie rod on my Bronco. Replaced it in 2013 and I got about 30k miles out if it (I have 33" tires). I started researching what else I could use instead of the the stock part that no one has at my local part stores.
Ended up going with a ES3009R for now. It's the only one anyone had locally. I also ordered the Wildhorses F150 tie rod end kit with the link, since I have the 78-79 knuckles with the larger taper. That way I won't have to use the sleeves anymore in the future. I also wanted to know what I need to get if one of the new ones in the Wildhorses kit wears out.
Most of the measurements are from Moog's application site. Some are from Napa's website. The stock one is what I measured with calipers.
