Simple question, the Tie Rod that I have on this truck has significant arch (bend) in it. Everything lines up and fits, but is there suppose to be a bend / arch in the bar or is it a straight bar?

Thanks for the help

 

From the pic (and mine at home) It does have a bend to it....

 

Thanks Chris for the reply just to confirm I'm using the correct name "Tie Rod" I'm referring to part # 3283 in the picture. Sorry for sounding like such a rookie......

 

You are correct... I didn't know what part you were exactly talking about.

It should be straight. Mine was messed up, so I ordered a new one from Macs.

1942-1952 Front Tie Rod - 45.8" - Ford Pickup, Ford Commercial & 122 Inch Wheelbase Truck - MAC's Antique Auto Parts

BTW... Not much more than a rookie myself. (Learning as I go)

 

Chris, got your request and its confirmed as yes.
