I recently orderred some inner and outer tie rods/ends from Rockauto for a rack and pinion setup. When they arrived, they were the wrong part, due to a catalog missprint. Rockauto had me just keep them, because the value was almost the same as return shipping, and then they sent the correct parts out for free (Thanks Rockauto!). So I have these two rack and pinion inner and outer tie rods/ends sitting here, and I got to thinking, these are really a pre built link for use in suspension, for example, in a 4 link suspension setup, or as watts links. True, they are a bit short at about 16", but maybe...
So, the question is, has anyone tried to use these things for suspension links, or anything else on a 'T'? They are actually quite nice, and the ends would be easy to attach... You'd need to add a small boot on the inner end, but I think a master cylinder boot from an older style car would do that nicely...
Don't kill me on this, it's just an idea! :sun:
