rockable Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I did some searches but did not come up with anything. Does anyone know what degree taper is used on my '41 Plymouth tie rod ends? I'm making new steering arms and Speedway offers a 10 degree and a 7 degree. I'm thinking 7 degree but wanted to make sure before I plunked down $80 for a reamer. Thanks for your help!

Big_John Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Got an old one? A couple measurements and some simple trig and you'd have the answer. BTW, I think it's 7 degrees. Quote
rockable Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 I can confirm they are 7 degrees. I used a protractor and eyeballed it. Quote
moose Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I think it's 1-1/2" taper over a foot. That works out to 7.2 degrees. give a good interference fit. Quote
