| Post subject: | Enlarging a balljoint taper eye |
I seem to remember someone enlarging a balljoint eye to fit a larger balljoint to a sierra draglink or something Is there a tool I can buy to increase the taper and is it easy enough to do? |

I have a pair of Sierra swivel hubs already reamed out to take Toyota tie rods. PM me if interested. |

The tool is called a tapered reamer. But you can't fit larger Tie rod ends to the suzuki arms. You need to make new arms as well. |

It's not for the tie rod nor the knuckles it's for the draglink. I have pajero ps box that has a balljoint so my plan was to make a draglink with an eye at each end screwed into a nice piece of 4130 Your thoughts? |

What do you mean by "an eye at each end"? |

The normal drag link on a sierra has one eye end that fits on the balljoint on the tie rod and a ball joint end that fits into the pitman arm. I need a set up that has two eye ends ans the pitman arm on the steering box has a ball joint. Hope that makes sense |

It does. But I don't think you can buy those ends. They are cast. |

That is my dilemma Either I have to rework the ones I have or find another pitman arm that fits the pajero steering box |
