Installing New Steering Linkage

I recently discovered my Center Link was bent so I figured while I replace it I might as well replace the Inner and Outer Tie Rods and the Adjustment Sleeves too.

Steering Linkage set = purchased form CJPony, part number 6566LKV8.
You can get a similar kit off Amazon:
Center Link - https://amzn.to/3vxE8Sa
Inner and Outer Tie Rods - https://amzn.to/3cSOKo9
Adjustable Tie Rod Sleeves - https://amzn.to/3oTkrAo

The car is a 1966 Mustang Fastback with a factory V8 and T5 transmission.

Very helpful video, thanks for that.
Mine is so rusty, it was nice to see what it should actually look like!

Nice work as always. Man that previous bar was bent! I can only imagine how badly it was driving.

every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want a set of those ratcheting wrenches.

Got the radio block off plate,thanks Andy for your help, Mike.

This channel deserves over a mil subs, easy...You've boosted my confidence 10 fold to work on my 67 fastback for the suspension and rear end. The only thing I'm still sketchy on is brakes lol

Very well done sir 👍🏻 recently did this on my 66 coupe except I had to do a little more modification because I’m using Granada outers. One thing I would HIGHLY recommend would be one of the roller bearing style idler arms from open tracker racing. It’s been a complete game changer on my car. Keep up the great content!

Excellent Andy! ;)

Great job Andy, updating my front suspension and thought I would knock this out while I’m under there. Thanks

Good job sir.

Andy , It's very easy to do your own toe in and out alignment . There are a ton of videos on YouTube on how to do it ! Save your money and do it your self !

O'Reilly has a tie rod tool #67008 that works great on removing the inner and outer tie rods.

When you buy a cheaper product you will have to add washers to the center link just a quick note

I just finished converting my 67 Fastback from power steering to manual steering. Changed out the pitman & idler arms too.. your car is way too clean.. lol

@dennisparass5531 3 years ago

I noticed you jacked up the car from the front. Where did you place the trolley jack when lifting ? Where did you place the jack stands?
Another excellent presentation

@FastFords289 4 years ago

Nice work. Crazy how that bar was bent. Also I like those adjuster sleeves, where did you get them from?

@1965copester 4 years ago

Almost electric power steering install. lol I agree with roller bearing style idler arms from open tracker racing. I did that also.

@pinoypostman4648 2 years ago

perhaps you can do a video of power steering install? electric or the Borgeson? =P

When it came to the nuts for the tie rods where they came through the center link, were they bottoming out and leaving too much gap between the nut and the cotter pin, or was the stud coming to far through the link and the nut was bottom out on the stud? I've seen some issues about the nuts being too short and folks reusing the old ones because they are taller.
