QUESTION: Hey I saw a part on your website (left hand thread tie rod end #ES2233L) My Jeep is a 1966 CJ-5 and I keep getting the wrong part sent to me from 4×4 shops. This part looks to be the one I need. Is the thread diamater 11/16th’s? Also, is this part designed to thread from the top down or bottom up on the steering knuckle? How do I buy it? Abram Clark
