Hello,

Part of re-baselining and solving whatever is going on with my suspension, I want to DIY the steering components. Ill plan to do an idler arm rebuild, and then want to do the center link and the tie rods. Since mine is a desert car that is corrosion free, Id like to just buy the ends. But they are very confusing, short, long, threaded one way or another.

Can someone help explain what I need and make heads or tails of it?

The Meyle offerings on APE for example show left handed thread, left handed thread short, right handed thread, right handed thread long.

Maybe its just silly, but the pictures of the ends look like the finish and quality of say, meyle ends are better than the meyle complete arm...

Thanks!
