oops I bent my tie-rods

I bent them on the passenger side upwards in the air. My truck is a 70 f100 4x4, whats a good way to bend them down. also how hard would it be to install power steering from a similar age ford truck?

if you can find the parts the power steering should be a bolt in set up .. and I would replace your bent tie rod.. your just looking for trouble bending it back,,,

You might also consider upgrading your steering set up to the 77-79 setup.... there is a tech article about it on the site,,,it requires a little fabrication ,, but it is the trick set up for early trucks,,,

Dont forget to check the classifieds..

good luck
