Coming up short on a tie rod end.

[casper50]

I've decided to replace all 4 of my tie rod ends while I'm rebuilding the frontend.  NAPA can find 3 of them.  Anyone have a number for the left outer tie rod end?

Bernbaum shows one in the catalog.  I'll phone him tomorrow.

Lot's of confusing information on this. I get the impression from this vendor link  http://www.vapinc.com/mopar/Steering%20Parts/main.html   that there are only two tie rod ends, inner & outer, for '39 to '56 Plymouths & Dodges. You might think otherwise after reading this post on p15-d24.com however. http://p15-d24.com/topic/36535-1949-plymouth-tie-rods/   This link may help you find what you need as well.  http://shop.rareparts.com/smtp/shopdisplaycategories.asp?iyear=1947&imake=0016|DODGE&imodel=0365|CUSTOM&iproduct=0049|STEERING,%20GEAR,%20PUMP%20&%20COMPONENTS
 

Prices are CRAZY  from $20 to over $100. Good luck Larry

that's what I was finding.  Everyone lists different.  NAPA says two are the same and two are different.  They don't carry the left outer.  I ordered the 3 that they do carry and the left outer from Bernbaum.  I hope they fit as shipping is almost as much as the ends.

OK here is your answer to the tie rod ends

 

Passenger side use the ES 60 Right and left   Right is closest to the tire the left is closest to the pitman control

Driver side uses ES131 Right and Left   Right goes to the side of the pitman control  the Left goes to the side of the left tire

 

The numbers that I have listed were used across all manufacturers.
