updated steering components for 64 Barracuda
 
By now I've pretty much covered most of the components in the front end of my 64 a-body with the exception of the steering linkage (tie rods, pitman arm and idler arm). I've been told to update to the bigger style tie rods, just not sure which ones will work, seems nobody list them for a 64. As well the idler/pitman arms are pretty wispy, is there an update for them? Is it really needed? The LCA are boxed the k-member is gusseted new tubular upper arms with a disc brake set up and bigger ball joints too, just need the parts mentioned above. Thanks!

The B & E body can use the larger C body tie rod ends , the conical pin is the same size but the thread into the sleeve is 1/8 larger , I am not sure if the C body parts will work in the A body though , contact PST , they may have an upgrade for you

One up date is to the later style idler arm.. Also requires the instal of later K member

Thanks for the input! all ready set on the k-member. I think it was the c-body tie rods I had mentioned, but with out stronger pitman/idler arms doesn't seem worth it. I'll go with the stock stuff for now I guess.
