C-Body Tierod Adjustment Tubes

[GaryS]

I've misplaced the article that tells which C-body tierod adjustment tubes can be used as a heavy duty upgrade for A-bodies. Does anyone have that info handy?

Don't know.... but if a 69 C Body works, I should have a pair in the shed if ya need 'em....

I believe you need to replace the tie rods with the tubes. Firm feel sells them as a kit of 4 tie rods and 2 adjuster sleeves.

Yep C-body thread diameters are larger but the tapered ball studs are the same as A-body. I really cant see the benefit of the larger parts until I go to a much larger wheel size.

The larger tie rod sleeves give less flex and are a better handling feature, and yes you need to use the larger threaded tie rod ends.
