    Outer tie rod ends

    Besides Kanter, what is a good place to get a set for a 56? Are they directional, L side L threads, R side R threads, or universal? Does Olds 88 ( only the Buick Special and Century parts will interchange with the Olds 88 from 54-56.fit, the Olds 98 shared a body with the Buick Super and Roadmaster), or are they Buick specific?
    Thanks

    CARS, Inc has them $30.00.
    Probably from the same manufactuer [sp] as Kanter.

    I had mine matched locally: Perfect Circle 269-2018...NAPA uses that number for tie rod ends; take yours in to match.

    269-2018 is correct. NAPA had them, $44.95 a piece. Cross reference NAPA Master Ride Chassis Parts ES140R $19.95 a piece. Thanks Willie...
