Installation notes

Note: tie rods require both left-hand and right-hand threaded ends for correct toe adjustment. Always verify which thread direction you require before ordering. Thoroughly clean threads before installation. Have toe alignment checked after installation.

Compatibility

Distinction between left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) thread is essential - this version has right-hand thread. Not interchangeable with left-hand thread version. Standard thread size for early WWII vehicles is 11/16", later CJ models sometimes use 3/4" thread.

Historical context

The steering linkage of the WWII jeep employed a system of tie rod ends with opposing thread directions, allowing precise toe adjustment by rotating the intermediate rod without complete disassembly.
