Product Description

QA1 part number 5252 is a heavy-duty replacement tie rod sleeve kit designed for classic GM 2WD platforms and early Ford Mustang steering applications. These solid steel sleeves are far stronger and more durable than stock split-style sleeves. Zinc plating ensures long-term resistance to corrosion. By replacing worn factory sleeves, this kit restores tight steering feel and alignment precision.

Ideal for restoration or performance builds on Camaro, Firebird, Nova, full-size GM cars, pickups, and early Mustang (1965-73 V8 or I6 with power steering), QA1 5252 provides consistent thread engagement and sleeve length (3.53") to maintain correct geometry. Sold in pairs for both left and right tie rods. Fits left/right equally.
