What size tie rods, drag link, center link for my truck (89 f250 4x4)? im trying to order all new steering rods/links and not sure what size they are. rockauto.com offers a couple different sizes in their catalog for my truck. like 22mm or 20mm options for the same part. anyone have experience with what the proper part sizes/threads are?

 

Check what it says on those parts. It should specify a axle weight rating for each one. Check your door jamb.

 

Use an open end wrench as a gauge to measure the diameter of the threaded part of the tie rod. If you don't have a 22mm, 7/8 is close enough.

 

i honestly would just go to napa. thats where i got all of mine, and they had them right there. at least then you can walk outside with the parts and hold them up to your truck to make sure they are the right ones.

 

bam so the big difference is if your 4wd (22mm) or Rwd (20mm)
$64 out the door for both outer tie rod ends, left inner link and right center link =]

 

I'd still measure them to confirm it.
