Tie Rod Adjuster Problem

[Peteyen86]

Well, bit the bullet and ordered a set of heavy duty tie road adjusters the other week. They were out of stock and had to be made.

They turned up today, but are missing the flat spots to allow a spanner to adjust them, not happy.

Guess the machinist and 100 other people who handled them failed to see they were missing.

Heres a photo. Yet to hear back from them yet. Was hoping on installing them, a drag link, UCA and Idler arm this weekend. Might just see if the local machine shop can cut them in for me!

If you get them post machined, you'll lose the cadmium plating on them and they'll rust. Use a lock nut on the base of each thread to adjust.

True, but ill just paint them. Thought about using lock nuts. Should still have enough adjustment with them in there but id prefer not to go that way. Still waiting to here back from superior!
