Hello all,

I recently purchased some new tie rod ends for my 68 Firebird. I purchased them from Global West. I also used tie rod adjusters that came with my SpeedTech control arm kit.

I removed the old tie rods and then assembled the new ones and attempted to adjust them to the same length as the old but ran out of adjustment. I'm unable to get them to shorten up to match. I'm about 1/2" too long with both ends screwed all the way into the adjuster sleeves.

I contacted both vendors and thus far SpeedTech is saying they see this fairly often and that I may need to cut down the tie-rod ends. I have not yet received a response from Global West yet.

Does this seem a little odd? The new adjusters aren't threaded all the way through. If they were, I could likely just barely achieve the desired length but there wouldn't be much if any additional adjustment. Anyone else had this experience?

Thanks
