does any1 know if 05 ds650 tie rods will fit on a 01 ds650 if they dont do you know why by any chance

 

yes

 

are they a direct replacement

 

I don't think they are a direct replacement but I don't know for a fact. What I do know is that a stock front end on an 01' is 50" and the 05' is 48" I believe. So it's seems that they would fit but be stretching to fit safely. Also you can have Armadillo make you some custom ones for like $70 or $80. I think that's what I think I paid. They are a really nice bare stainless tie rod. I got them because I went with +1" arms in the front.

 

They are a direct replacement. THere is no difference in front end width. All DS model years are the same width up front. In 04 they went to a 2" narrower rear axle. Some seem to think they also narrowed up the front end but that is not true...

 

my tie rod ends are getting a little sloppy, who, what, and where for some decent affordable tie rod ends.
Thanks,

try flea Bay... Somebody is aways parting out a DS

 

Check out American Star Racings website. They have all sorts of tie rod ends. I'm sure they'll have what you need. Give them a call if you need specifics.
