I bought a Bigdaddys offroad Tie rod, and when I went to thread the ends in the one sides threads inside the tie rod got messed up. Does anyone know were I can get a tap for the reverse threaded rod. Or even the thread size for me to start to look.
Thanks

Just use a file or grinder to fix the messed up threads.

how do you get a grinder inside a tie rod?

Tap, if you can find a left and right thread

The threads that are in the BDO Tie rod are what are messed up. So I cant use a file or grinder, and returning isnt an option.
