tie rod thread size

[Ameer Antar]

I just borrowed a set of gauges from a machine shop here. I found out the type-44 (5kt) tie-rods to be M16x1.5. That's a pretty big difference to the 90q's which are more like toothpicks! Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can find someplace w/ a cheap die for this fine thread.

The threads on my 89 90q's tie rod ends is M10x1.25, don't know how to tell
them apart.  The ends are the same, but the whole rods are different.

Good luck!
