1. Ford 1928-48 spindles are generally your best choice when using an original Ford axle or an aftermarket I-beam axle. 
2. Chevy 1949-54 spindles are specifically designed for use on tube axles. A shorter, thicker axle stub makes this a slightly stronger spindle ideal for use with heavier street rods.

Cross Steering vs. Traditional Steering

Traditional steering provides an original, period look, but will only work in these applications:

• Four bar setup with '68-'73 Mustang box
• Split wishbone or hairpin radius rod with reversed Corvair or '48-'56 Ford Puckup steering box

Cross steering (using a Vega box) is the preferred method for nearly all cross spring, beam axle suspensions. Ford used this design from 1935-on.

• Less bumpsteer
• More comfortable steering column angle
• Frees up foot pedal / bellhousing room
• Cleaner vehicle profile

If you are building a hot rod just a little bit different than the next guy, you will probably need a special length tie rod or drag link sleeve. Sorry, no custom order chrome sleeves. Measurements are in assembled eye-to-eye lengths.

To order:

1. Use guide below to measure your finished length.
2. The part number and length you order will be 3" longer than the sleeve you receive. (I.E., if you order a 48" part number, you will receive a 45" long sleeve.) This is the difference in length required to give you the correct finished center-to-center measurement.
3. All sleeves will have internal RH thread in one end and LH thread in the other.
