Hi, Mike, I got a 74 box and pitman arm so my values might be different, I used 175(the shop I go to said to). I'm at work now, when I get home I'll look it up in my service manual. I am replacing tie rods right now and I do it the lazy mans way replacing whole assembly, if you need the sleeves when I get done just give me a shout, I screw the new ends into shafts til theyre same length as old one then install them. talk to you tomorrow, Dave
