Default Inner & Outer tie rods ends

In keeping up with my dumb questions..........heres todays, im getting mixed up on whats the inner and outer.........im taking it the outer rod with zert on bottom is the one closest to the wheel.............that one i have the moog es333rl..........the inner is the moog es681n with the zert out the side.

Getting a headache trying to figure this stuff out, am rethinking the tie rods altogether, tryed looking up some proforged, cant seem to get any numbers for a 66 gto.........any help would be appreciated.

The position of the zerk fitting allows clearance for the grease gun. The outer rod have fitting on bottom so they can be greased with tires in place.

OG68, thanks for the tip............i looked into that on summit........i already have the PF center bar.........odd it says for the whole kit, 66-67...........but when you try to look at some of the pieces seperate, they say not for a 66.

Anyone here buy this kit for a 66 and have no issues.

Thanks

Rich

Default tie rod interchangeability

Am a generalist, not a Pontiac expert. Supposedly the 66-67 Pontiac A inners (tie rods) are unique, and not the same as other '66-'67 A bodies. What is the difference, and why is it different?
