Last year i did a tie rod flip using BC Broncos tie rod bushings. It has worked great for me (Thanks Chuck)
Now i am changing to a heim joint setup. I am looking for an adapter that matches the taper of my knuckles and allows me to use a 5/8" heim. BC Broncos has the ones that mate up with a 3/4 heim, and i may have to go that route but 5/8 matches my other steering components better.

Where can i find a f150 tie rod to 5/8" heim adapter stud?

5/8" seems small to me for the steering..

Being that it is part of the steering I would go with the bigger stud.. IMO

Thanks for the reply Mad....Yea, 5/8 is a little small in the off road world. I'm converting to quick ratio rack and pinion steering and its more common to mate the small dia. inner tie rods to a 5/8 rod end. I do alot of grafting hard core wheeling parts with circle track and drag race technology. Stock cars and circle track guys use'em all the time and the parts are cheap and easy to get. I just cant find the right adapter stud....maybe i should take that as a sign and go with the bigger rod end.
