Classic/Antique Car Repair: Steering Rebuild, outer tie rods, fusick


Question
QUESTION: I am trying to rebuild the steering on my 1955 Olds Super 88 Holiday. I am especially looking for inner & outer tie rods and a centerlink rebuild kit. Any idea for a source?

Thanks,
Gus



ANSWER: Yes, you can call Kanter Brothers in New Jersey - I believe they can help you.  Call 1-800-526-1096.  Ask to speak to Stuart Blond (he's an old buddy of mine) and you will get what you need.

QUESTION: That was my first source along with Fusick but they could not help me. Turns out that this part was never made after market. So my best hope was to find NOS.

Still searchin',

Answer
OK, I assumed they would have them.  Since they don't, next try "Rare Parts" at www.rareparts.com   If they don't have them, I'd watch eBay for folks selling NOS suspension parts for any brand of car, and use the "ask seller a question" link to see if any of them can help you.

That is not that rare a car - I'm amazed the parts are so hard to find.
