Hi List,
I recently removed the tie rods from my 1944 GPW to replace the worn
tie rod ends. The shorter rod had one left-hand thread and one right
hand thread while the longer rod had two right-hand threads. (I would
have expected each rod to have a right and a left.) Both tie rods are
Ford scripted and there is no evidence that either has been cut or
altered in any way. Has anyone else found this? Wouldn't this mean
that only the one tie rod can be adjusted on the vehicle? Would that
allow enough adjustment to do a wheel alignment?
I hope someone can shed some light on this for me!
