70 TA pitman & idler arms rubbing inner tie rods
Howdy,
I took my 70 TA to the alinement shop the other day, and with it on the rack we could see that the pitman and idler arms have worn “witness marks” on both inner tie rods. The front suspension was completely rebuilt prior to my purchase in “93, therefore II have no idea what coil springs it sits on. I believe the center link to be original as to the date code stamp. Any thoughts? Thanks, Alan

With 25 views I had hoped one of the bird or suspension gurus wold have a idea what the problem is.
Does anyone know how to decide the center link part? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I’ve compared the 70 center link to my 72 and 73 and they all seem to be the same.
Those are interesting differences between the Firebird and Camaro tie rod ends, I’ll compare mine to your pics.
