OK I did search and I'm still a bit puzzled. Forgive me, I'm old.

Doing the inner tie rods on the truck and auto zone lists a right inner but says "under 4200 GVW".

Gee can you even get an F250 that light? Maybe mine needs a diet, the GVRW is 8600. Or do the just mean the front axel which is only 3540. The guy at auto zone was confuzzled on the phone which didn't help.

The other is: Front suspension. With 22mm x 1.50 thread.

So aside from tearing it down and then having to walk to get the parts, any idea which is which?

Thanks!

They mean the front axle. The dana 44hd is the 3450 and the dana 50 is the 4400lb front axle. I forget what the dana 60 was.

Thanks! Kinda figured but wanted to be 100% on it. I'm too lazy to walk ;)

Just did this on my '85. Moog parts from RockAuto: Rt inner DS1069, Left inner DS1072. Outers: ES2728L and ES2727R. I bought adjusting sleeves from Napa ES2079S thread was 22mm.
