Hi folks,
I would like to replace the inner tie rod ends on my 1963 Canada-built Lark and I'm a little confused about what parts I need after studying the chassis parts catalog. There are different part numbers for the inner (and outer) tie rod ends between the Canada and US cars. The part number for the inner ends on the Canadian cars is 531211 and on the US cars it's 530204. I can't find any online parts listings from Studebaker vendors for the 531211 so I'm hoping it exchanges with the 530204 since it's available. The length and thread direction is the same, 3-7/64" and left hand threads. To add to my confusion, I also see a note in the catalog which says that there are two types of tie rod ends under the 530204 part number as it applies to 1962 US cars. The parts listings I've seen at SI and other vendors don't mention variations of the 530204 part. Does anyone have experience replacing the inner tie rod ends on a '63 Canadian Lark and can you tell me if the 530204 part will work? Thanks for any help you can give.
