Tie Rods

Tie Rods (1932–1979 Ford Cars & Trucks)

Accurate front-end alignment on 1932–1979 Ford passenger cars and light trucks depends on properly fitted tie rods and drag link components. This category includes ford reproduction Tie Rods, classic ford Outer Tie Rod End assemblies, inner tie rod ends, drag link adjusting sleeves, tie rod adjusting sleeves, seals, ball studs, and Tie Rod & Drag Link Repair Kit options used to service the steering linkage.

Tie rods connect the steering gear to the spindle arms, translating steering box movement into controlled wheel direction while maintaining toe alignment and steering geometry. Adjusting sleeves allow fine tuning of alignment, and seals protect internal ball-and-socket joints from contamination. Fitment may vary by model year, steering box design, front axle configuration, and linkage style. Differences in thread direction, taper size, and overall length are common between early straight axle setups and later suspension systems. Worn tie rod ends or loose adjusting sleeves can contribute to steering wander, uneven tire wear, and inconsistent tracking. Properly matched components restore factory-correct linkage movement and stable road response.

Since 1978, C&G Ford Parts has remained a second-generation, family-run business focused exclusively on classic Ford restoration parts. Experienced staff are available to help confirm correct fitment when details matter. Give us a call or send an email!
