The massive tie rod ends thread into the rod end body so that they may 1) be replaced without replacing the whole rod end saving cost, 2) the same threaded in rod end is used at all 4 points so only one spare would have to be carried, and 3) they may be unscrewed from the rod end bodies and screwed in from the other side if a flipped tie rod drag link was desired. Drag link tube features machined-in wrench flats and jam nuts for ease of adjustment. This unit is a direct replacement for the stock parts. No modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle are necessary! NOTES: Flipping the drag link would require retapering the rod end holes from the top side of the knuckle.
