So i had to replace my tie rod ends due to the previous rod end being stuck in there so bad that i broke 2 wrenches and my vise.

I ordered the new tie rod and reverse thread end from low range offroad, and the other regular thread end from autozone.

It didnt cone with a jam nut for the regular thread tie rod end.

And apparently nobody makes them except for the offroad companies, so it has to be ordered, which will take a week or so.


Is it too sketchy to drive around with only one jam nut on there? (While the other one comes in the mail)

It wouldnt loosen itself unless the jam nut on the other side came undone, and there is alot of threads holding in that tie rod end...

 

Shouldn't be an issue if you have at least one. But just so you know, it likely would have been cheaper and definitely stronger if you got a heavy duty tie rod for Sky Off Road. I got mine for $120 (comes with rod and ends)

 

Oh jeez i always forget about sky offroad, i think im gonna get the brake kit from them as well, seems like the best deal.

I figured it couldnt be that scary with only one.

Its just dumb to me how nobody makes a 23mm thread

 

If you get the brake kit from them, don't buy the calipers. They sell them for an astronomical price when you can get the Monte Carlo brake calipers for less than $15 each from Advance Auto Parts.

 

yeah once i saw the prices, i immediately looked at autozone, and was surprised.

I am going to be getting the e-brake ones for sure though. boat ramp will be alot more fun after that

 

Just to let you know, the Cadillac calipers with the ebrake have a longitudinal pull (front to back) and the stock ebrake is a latitudinal pull (inward) so in order to get them to work you will need to fabricate a bracket with a cam or pivot point to make use of your stock cable pull.

 

yeah ive actually been looking into this more closely, and i really like what this guy -->http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...on-pt-1-a.html did, the mustang calipers are more of a center-pull and it looks like the mitsubishi rotors fit no problems.
