[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 589812, member: 4238"] I went ahead and bought the parts to build new tie-rods for the front too. The heims in the old tie rods were pretty worn, and on the ram end instead of using tube adapters they welded the heim straight into the tubing. I'm not sure what that was all about. :wtflol: the ram is pretty offset on this axle so the driver side tie-rod is really short, only about 2" of tube. I had ordered the large hex tube adapters from Barnes4WD for both sides but they were too long to work on the short side. So the short side just got standard tube adapters.
