Increase quantity to the number of sleeves you are in need of.
NEW! Improved design! These CNC machined weld-in tapered sleeves can be used to fix wallowed out tie rod end holes in Ford steering knuckles, or to convert a knuckle, steering arm or pitman arm to fit common Ford tie rod ends. Works with years 1985-1997 using a factory tie rod or Moog DS1071 and ES3009r end.
Specifications:
Taper 0.710" Major 0.595" Minor 1" OD, 1.120" OAL
Made in the USA from 1020 DOM Steel bar. These specs are based on F-350 pitman, knuckle taper. F-250/F-150 are smaller taper and will not fit the taper sleeves.
Instructions:
The basics: To install, drill hole out to 1" OD. Press in, then weld in.
Preferably, a mill is used to machine the hole to the correct size, minus a couple thousandths for a interference fit. Freeze the sleeve and heat the knuckle, drop sleeve in place, wait for science to do its thing. Next, heat the knuckle and tig weld sleeves in place. Let cool.

Almost like they read my mind. I was trying to figure out a solution for a backup camera for so long. This is absolutely perfect. Amazing fit and finish.
The part fit perfectly and was easy to install. Keep making parts I need to get another 30 yrs out of this truck
Thanks
Back in June of 94 I was so overwhelmed with stress I decided to cut out and clear my head by going for a drive in my beloved 93 Bronco XLT. The mushy way that rig handled combined with the roads in So Cal meant I had to keep the speeds low and at the time I would have killed to have a suspension system that improved the overall experience. Luckily I was able to pick this kit up after OBS Solutions slashed it's price on it. I took a stab at doing the install myself and aside from some neck pain and struggling to find a set of mechanic gloves that fit I was able to walk away proud of what I did. I did it, all by myself! There was a bit of blood but overall a nice experience. Now this cuts through the canyons like hunting knife through a deers neck! This kit allows me to get away with so much I shouldn't, the guys at OBS Solutions have killed it with this product ;-)
I hook and unhook multiple trailers a day. This is the only clean/hidden camera option for these old trucks! I have a single din radio that plugged right into the camera and the video quality is exactly what I needed. The billet handle feels very nice!
The AMP power step brackets are great! They are expensive but the customer support makes up for that. I tried to contact other manufacturers with questions about their brackets and would receive one reply , if at all, and then completely ghosted. I’m so sick of these companies expecting you to buy their crap just because they designed something and can’t be bothered to follow through with installation help or general questions. It appears to be the norm these days. Not OBS Soulutions. They answered all my questions and even followed up after placing my order.
The were pretty easy to follow along and I had the steps installed and wired up by myself in less than a workweek day. Second time I ordered from yall and will be looking to order again.
Thanks so much!
