I'm looking for a good deal on a set of late model manual steering tie rods and steering shaft? If anybody has these send me an email.

Late manual tie rods? Good luck! Those can get pricey if you can even find them.

Bolt on solution for inner tie rods per Xschop is Moog EV-378. Another option is to use a length of threaded rod to lengthen the early inner tie rod and attach the late outer tie rod end.

Or call paragon and get them new OEM... that's what I did for the race car. Don't want to even think about what they cost... let's just say a late offset manual conversion is spendy!

Just trying to help a brother out. Moog EV-378 $49 each plus late offset power steering ends for $17 each. Factory tie rods unobtainium.

I have a manual setup for the late model that will be available for sale. It is a complete rack with the late tie rods. I haven't had a chance to figure out the market price yet. We start disassembly of the car tomorrow.

Will this setup bolt up with no other modifications?

Yeah, I've checked with them. They run about $180 each. Which is pretty pricey, but not out of this world. I'm gonna do a little research on the kit that arthropaxis mentioned before I drop close to 400 on factory parts.

I have it on good authority that the Moog's are a direct bolt on no modification needed. I have not done it myself. I did the threaded bar extension before I found out about the Moog tie rod.

I have a manual rack with late model tie rods (still have stickers on them) and the intermediate shaft (no play in the shaft). Looking for $350 plus shipping.

That is a good price with late tie rods. It won't last long.

That is a smoking deal from a good seller! $350 is what you would have to pay just to get the two new late offset tie rods, and you get a complete manual rack to go with it.

Do you know how many miles are on the tie rods do they have any play? If all is good how much shipped to 32804?

I believe there are 20k miles on them. They are nice and tight. Fedex Ground shipping would be $23. Here are some more photos.
