Re: Tie Rod Part Question

[Kneale Brownson <knotnook@traverse.com>]

That part (threaded on each end and employed in adjusting) is not
identified as a stand-alone part in my reading of our favorite
hummmmmm-along CD.   It's included as part of the entire tie rod assembly,
which is 811 419 802K for left and 893 419 802 for right.   This assembly
includes also the tie rod ends, which are available separately, along with
the nuts that tighten down against the tie rod end and the tie rod itself
after adjustments are made.  So they list the nuts that go on the threaded
piece you're looking for, but they do not assign a separate part number to
the threaded piece.
