Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys,

wondering if the tapper on the GQ tie rod ends is the same as the tapper on the MQ patrols? My tie rod ends have sooooo much play.

I don't care to much about threading as I'm planning to use a Snake racing rock rod. This is to go on a SOA so I won't need the drag link tie in point (hi-steer arm).

Does anyone also happen to know if you can get a reemer tappered to the correct size to take the tappered rod end? Surely there is an easier way to tapper the hole rather then using a lathe.

cheers

people will tell you they are different, but i have used GQ & GU rod ends in MQ knuckles, GU rod ends in GQ pitman arms and MQ rod ends in GQ knuckles, and they all pull up tight and stay that way, so i reckon they are all the same.

you can get a reamer for that taper, i have used one, but i don't know what the actual measurements of it are.

thanks Wendle, i'll go looking for the reamer. I thought the tappers where likely to be the same.

cheers
