ref SDC FOrum #49049 - Feb 2011 1951 - 1962 Tie rods ends =========================================================== I dug into old parts books and even checked with Federal Mogul but they do seem to be specific for Studes. The best price I found so far is from Studebakerparts.com. (53 Commander) ---------------------------------------------- There are 4 tie rod ends, 2 are like Ford and 2 are Stude specific. Stude # 530204 replaces with Ford C1UZ3A131A also C4UZ3A131A. I buy the polished Stainless Steel ones from Speedway for $39 each. (Alan) --------------------------------------------- /the Moog ES-344L and ES-344R may work, but the threaded bit may be longer than original. /per the info that I have the correct tie rod end is 3-7/64" long, and the numbers I listed above are 3-7/8" long.
