As per title, I need to know the exact width of the special spherical joint that connects the front tie rod to the cahssis plate, this is so I can replace the joint with a high quality rosejoint with sidespacers to get the total width the same as the Ford part, can anyone help?

A spare joint would need to be measured with a digital vernier caliper , alternatively a spare corner plate could be measured where the joint locates.

Thanks,

Martin
