Paul
I was in the Mack Trucks business for 10 years & there was always a lot of confusion on the description of steering arm/ shaft parts.
In 90% of the applications there are 3 major components.
Pitman Arm: Typically comes straight down from the steering box, up to 12" long
Drag Ling: goes from the pitman arm to the left hand steering nuckle; 8" to 20" long
Cross shaft: goes from the steering nuckle on one side to the other: 65" to 80" long

I bring this up because numerous times over the years, customers would call up & order a drag linK. When they came in to pick it up, they immediately said it was too short.

Your recent post said a drag link was ordered, but in your original post had pictures of the tie rod ends on the crosshaft.

You are also dealing in a foreign language, which could confuse things easily.

Just to clear up a point, what you were looking for were tie rod ends. Heim joints are used on purpose built race cars; thus your experience. I have been involved in racing for 35 years, & rarely have seen a tie rod except on some door slammers, but extensively used on street cars / trucks.
The only place I've scene a heim joint on a class 8 truck was a hood pivot. Heims are typically stronger for their mass, have greater angular capacity & more expensive!

Just my 2 cents

I'll be at LVMS for the USAC race on Thurs, WOO on friday, in the pits w/ KKR racing
& also for the taxi cab races on the weekend. Just look for my Newell

Paul,
very cool! So are these l.e.d strips? How did you mount them on the coach? I've seen many Prevost and American Heritages with them but never stopped to look what kinda of lights they were or how the were mounted. I'm thinking some might look good on my coach.
