Title: Steering rod ends
Post by: John44 on April 04, 2017, 02:14:35 pm
Ordered the Moog ES423L and R for the steering rod,they are not the correct parts for mine.Mine are 11/4 inch thread and is
stamped "R58".Will take them to a truck parts place and match up,will post correct number.

In the meantime if anyone has a number let me know.

Try  Mog # ES-431-L  and ES-431-R
      Meritor  R-230070  and  R-230071

These should be 1.250-12 and .875-14 stud

I'm leery of anything unbranded.

Figured out my configuration,the steering rod(from steering box to left front wheel),takes the Meritor R-230070 and 71.The drag link
(connects both wheels) takes the ES423L and R.The ones on the steer rod much bigger then drag link.
