Red Freight train

Doing some suspension mods and can’t seem to find what degree taper dodge used for the outer tie rod mount.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, John

I think I understand the question.... But I don't have the answer..... However, I think that (Mount) degree changes depending on Caster, Camber, Straight, Full turn left and full turn right.

Or am I missing the point????

I need to ream the hole on the spindle mount where the outer tie rod attaches. I’ve ordered new stock tie rods and know that the hole in the new spindles that
I have is too small and will need to be reamed larger. Was hoping to figure out what degree taper is on the stock outer tie rod stud so could order the correct
reamer to do the job.

thanks, John

Seams easier to change drag link rod ends Pittman arm and idler arm etc and probably steering box than to do this.

Oh... I get it now.... H.D. stuff on the smaller Spindle.... Kppe up posted what you come up with... I'm hoping there is enough meat on the arm for the expansion?

All went well! Turned out to be 7 degree!

Hope it drives a lot nicer? And not like a "Log Truck" ?
