Moog part numbers for 69 A & B body are different than '70 A & B body.
How do they differ? (tie rod ends)
What is the best manufacturer to use now that Moog are Chinese?

Old USA stock found on eBay is the best place to find them. Look for the old style boxes. What year are you working on? 69 back would be ES319R, ES319L and the sleeve would be ES319S.

cant you use the e-body tie rods. I think they are 11/16" and alot bigger than the a-body units.

Here is a TRW tie rod end for $20.00 if you have the ES319 series.

I thought they were using "C" body parts.

I think the C body were 11/16" and a nice upgrade.
69..es319L & R
70..es401L & R
how do '69 differ from '70?
and did you see the shipping on the e-bay piece?

O.K.here's the thing!
'69 and '70 A bodies use the same upper and lower control arms,upper and lower ball joints,strut rods and bushings,sway bar and bushings,pitman and idler arms,tie rod sleeves ,K frames and steering gear boxes (other than internal ratio)
how can they use different tie rods?

As far as I know the only thing that changed was the diameter of the ball and cup. Stud and thread dimensions remained the same.
