    1968 CJ5 with Saginaw manual steering conversion.
    I am trying to find a replacement for the right outer tie rod end, but have no idea what type vehicle the steering came off of. The knuckle only has one tie rod mounting hole.
    The photo's don't really show the tie rod end too well. The tie rod on the left mounts to the tie rod end and the tie rod end mounts to the steering knuckle.

    The right as in P side? Those can be had from several sources, but folks like Herm have them available.

    That's a stock tie rod end from the stock Ross steering system. Herm, R&P, Walck's, and most any Jeep supplier should be able to supply that.

    I thought it was stock, got one, but the threaded end has a bend in the opposite direction which puts the tie rod at the wrong angle. The one that is on is a mirror image of the stock one.

    I just put one on my 69. I think the site was jeep.com and it cost like 17.00 plus tax. it was the stock arm, and worked out just fine.
