twin I beam tie rods

[85blueox]

Anyone know part numbers for MOOG for an 85 4X4 Twin I beam dana 50?  
Are they the same parts as the Mono beam suspension?

Seem to have trouble finding good ones.

Don't know the Moog #'s, but I see them here on the Rock Auto site.

How is TRW brand for quality?

[ArdWrknTrk]

TRW used to manufacturer for OEM's.
Their quality was always good, but I can't speak for today.

Once these icons of industry are swallowed by capital investment groups al lot of them fall off a cliff.

I used their make/model search.

[85blueox]

I did that same search, not alot of info.

[Gsmblue]

I replaced all the links, ends, ties, ball joints from that search. I got the part numbers and ended up buying from Amazon.

Which part are you looking for? tie rod end? Tie rod sleeve? steering link?

Happy to help as much as I can, but just a little confused about which part you are looking for.

I just needed the right side ,all of them.  I found them at Napa but they are expensive and they are still made in China.  I wanted Moog but the site did'nt really specify Twin I beam or Mono on them, neither does rock auto.  I ordered some from parts geek, will see how they go because they did'nt really know if they are interchangeable from Mono/Twin I beam either.

You might try looking for applications 1984 F-350.
You can be guaranteed that's a D50 axle because the 350 didn't get a solid axle until '85.

Otherwise you need to look exclusively at. F-250 supercab applications to
be sure it's a D50.

Jim to the rescue!

[ArdWrknTrk]

I don't know about that...  

I know what years and models came with a D50, but looking at RA there aren't too many options and if you go to the Moog page they have nothing but a sleeve.

It's a Dana 50.  The problem is the Twin I-beam suspension.  I ordered from parts geek and it was wrong, spoke to A1auto, they have nothing to fit a 4X4, no good info on rockAuto about twin I beam and you can't call them, Local places have nothing.  Moogparts does not show the different parts for TWIN vs Mono beam, Napa has the right side like I need but its $450.

Have a look at this page from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard:    https://shop.broncograveyard.com/F250-F350-4wd-Steering-Link/products/232/

They have inner, outer, center/drag & sleeves for '80-'85 250/350 TTB. ***in stock***
They also offer a complete 'kit' 32905.  https://shop.broncograveyard.com/1980-85-F250-F350-Steering-Rod-Kit/productinfo/32905/

I can't say what brand, but Jeff's is very knowledgeable about suspension (that's where they started)
I don't think they sell bad parts. I've bought Dana/Spicer, Eaton and Moog from them before.
And they actually answer their phone if you have questions....
