I carried the steering arms to our machine shop today to remove the balls the tie rods ends connects to. I heeded the advice with this task first by grinding off the bradded end, drilling a small hol

My 57 GMC has the original style (probably actual original) "ball" tie rod ends. They are getting pretty sloppy. I took them apart over the weekend and can see quite a bit of wear on each ball. I wil

Best way is to take the arm off of the backing plate, you'll have to grind the mushroomed end off of the tierod and have it pushed out. I've heard that it takes a lot of pressure to push this out-a l

Wayne, I did this to my '48 for the same reasons. It is an improvement you will enjoy. To remove the balls, grind the shaft flush or a little below the steering arm. Then center punch and drill a hol

Thanks Mike. I'll give it a try. I assume that the part of the ball piece that goes through the steering arm is tapered, with the big end of the taper nearest the ball. Just out of curiosity, does an

I think the replacement balls have a threaded shaft with nut for attaching. A new ball and other components will not compare with the newer style tie rod ends. If non-original is OK, I'd go with the

Didn't do the tie rod ends yet, but did do the drag link which looks the same. A tool called a pickle fork or ball joint separator and a large hammer worked great for that. Any halfway good parts sto

While a pickle fork will work on the drag link, removing the ball from the end of the steering arm is WAY beyond using a pickle fork. Didn't do the tie rod ends yet, but did do the drag link which lo

Most common problem with drag link and tie rod ends is broken spring inside. Unscrew end plug and check. You can adjust out most play with the plug, unless ball stud is worn egg shape. Keep track of
