pathfinder4x4vans@gmail.com

If your steering is home made, made by a conversion company now out of business, or you don’t know who made your van, this page will help narrow down the search. The drawings are representations of tie rods and are not to scale. Match the style, then compare the measurements. Some of the tie rods shown are obsolete, but there are options available for most of them.

tr end all

When matching a drag link or tie rod end, you will need to measure the rod end thoroughly. Determining all points A through F. Determine the style of end. The most common rod ends used by 4x4 van converters are .615 and .675.

It is best to use a digital or dial caliper, measuring with a measuring tape isn’t quite good enough.
