I wish to flip my tie rod to the bottom of the spindle.

I see several kids out there which are a weld-in sleeve. All of these are listed by application, and none match ours as most are for Jeep guys.

I see listings like "Dana 30 knuckle" or "fits TJ"

I measured my outer tie rod at a .788" long taper, starting at .620" and ending at .500". I see nothing matching that on the only chart of dimensions I found.

Am I missing something? Does someone offer such a sleeve which will fit? I do not want to run studs and/or heim joints here.
