What is wrong
THE TIE ROD USED ON THE DANA FA-64 FRONT DRIVE AXLE HAS A THREADED SLEEVE TO PERMIT TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT REMOVING AN END. THE TIE ROD BAR IS NECKED DOWN TO INCORPORATE THE SLEEVE. A STRESS RISER IS CREATED AT THE THREADED PORTION OF THE ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE WHICH MAY CAUSE A FATIGUE FRACTURE AND FAILURE OF THE TIE ROD WHERE IT SCREWS INTO THE SLEEVE.
What can happen
FAILURE OF THE TIE ROD ON THE FRONT AXLE RESULTS IN LOSSOF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy
REPLACE THE TIE ROD WITH A TIE ROD THAT DOES NOT USE AN ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE.
