cutting and rethread F150 tie-rod

[brian72]

Is there any information that I can give the local machine shop to help speed up his setup for cutting and re-threading my F150 tie-rod and draglink? Number of threads per inch..etc.

thanks

They should be able to get that info from the adjusting sleeve. I have the die's at home, I will check them tonight and post the info.

thought I had the thread pitch info but couldn't find it the one thing I can tell you is make sure they put reverse threads on the drivers side of the tie rod I would check out the links page here there should be more info there

Sorry for leaving ya hanging Brian, the info on my die is: HSS, 341075 (possible part#), 1-18 (pitch I believe). Two dies one right hand and one left. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
I was trying to have as much info as possible. In case they started talking about what they were going to do, I wanted to understand or go Yeah that sounds right.

thanks
