What It Helps Address

• Steering linkage length adjustment during front-end alignment
• Worn or corroded adjusting sleeve replacement
• Loose or inconsistent toe settings after steering service
• Restoration of proper tie rod connection on select Dodge and Plymouth vans
• Service replacement for damaged sleeve threads or clamps

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread size, and sleeve length before installation. This sleeve uses counterclockwise threads and a two-female-end layout, so confirm the inner and outer tie rod ends match the vehicle application before assembly. On 1981-1983 Plymouth PB150, PB250, and PB350 models, the inner and outer tie rod ends may be reversed, so thread verification is important before final adjustment. A professional alignment is recommended after steering linkage service.
