Hey all,
I am working on the steering and front suspension on my 63 Ranchero V8 car (big tie rod ends). I'm at the point of replacing the tie rod ends and they are spendy!! $174 each for inners and $117 for the outers. That $582 before shipping and taxes.

I can buy the 1965 falcon spindles for $365 for both and an get $26 tie rods.

So here are my questions.

1) Are there impacts to changing the spindle to a later model other than tie rod size?

2) Are there cheaper tie rod ends than I am finding that will fit the original spindle?


Thanks as always

Marty
