Demon Brat Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Need some information, I have ordered outer tie rod ends from Rockauto and from another source. They all say they are for a 1979 Subaru Brat. However, when we install them they tighten down so far that the rubber boot collapses and gets crushed as they are tightened. After a short period the rubber boot tears and fails. One of the original outer tie rod ends is obviously longer where it mounts into the hole. Is there a part number or a source where I know I'm going to get the correct tie rod end. One that is longer and mounts correctly with the proper distance. Thanks, Demon Brat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belacane Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I did the out tie rod ends on my second gen brat with parts from O'Reilly, and everything worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subieguy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 When I did my outers 3 years ago I bought originals from Subaru for my 78 Brat. Nothing like original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
