Tie rods back on we ends also. Plan was to use clamps on both ends but allow one just snug enough for the tie rod/tube to pivot on one end as suggested because these tubes are slit on both ends. The table end would be ideal especially the front.
Turns out there is not enough clearance by the transfer case for the clamps on the center pivot sides. Stock setup this end had no clamp or slit. This new setup has so much thread engagement compared to stock below the slit and is heavier wall I don't see the need. Cleaner look also.
With this solution tubes are clamped at each table allowing the tube to rotate at the center pivot.
The rear tie rod end is quite the challenge to get at and change without throwing off the alignment or hanging the carriers to hyper rotate. Now I understand why tables are found with the tie rod end still attached.
At full lock with some special tools I can get at the nut. Two spring bolts just tough the tubes at full lock. Shallow nut could fix but I never take it hard lock like this.
Very happy with the serviceable upgrade. Sno actually coming tomorrow.
Carefull manuvering in garages!
