Front inner tie rod end designed for 1960-1962 Chevrolet and GMC trucks and cars (passenger cars and light trucks). This inner tie rod end connects the steering rack/drag link to the outer tie rod, maintaining proper toe alignment and translating steering input to the wheel assembly. Built to industry specifications for durability and fit, it restores steering precision, reduces play and vibration, and helps prevent uneven tire wear. Ideal for restoration projects and routine steering system maintenance, it offers reliable performance and straightforward replacement to bring original steering feel back to the vehicle.
Features:
- Fits 1960-1962 Chevrolet and GMC vehicles (front inner tie rod end, right or left hand).
- Replaces worn inner tie rod ends to restore steering precision and correct toe alignment.
- Constructed from hardened steel with corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
- Sealed joint design helps keep contaminants out and maintain smooth operation.
- Easy to install with common hand tools; suitable for restoration and maintenance tasks.
- Helps reduce steering play, vibration, and uneven tire wear for safer, more predictable handling.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5

Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake, and chock rear wheels.
- Loosen front wheel lug nuts, raise vehicle with floor jack, and support securely on jack stands. Remove front wheel.
- Locate the inner tie rod end on the steering assembly. Use a marker to note the position of the tie rod on the inner/outer threads or measure toe length to preserve alignment settings.
- Loosen and remove the jam nut securing the outer tie rod to the inner tie rod, then separate the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle using a tie rod end puller or pickle fork.
- Remove any retaining clips or fasteners on the inner tie rod and use an appropriate inner tie rod tool or adjustable wrench to unthread the inner tie rod from the steering rack/drag link.
- Compare the new inner tie rod to the old part to confirm proper orientation and hand (right/left). Apply anti-seize or light grease to threads if desired per vehicle spec.
- Thread the new inner tie rod into the steering rack to the previously noted position or to match the measured toe length. Tighten to the manufacturer-recommended torque.
- Reattach the outer tie rod and tighten the jam nut to secure the adjustment. Reinstall any retaining clips or hardware.
