Panhard fouling steering arm

I am looking to get a more condensed fitting than the tie rod to mount to my pitman arm. Does anyone know if there is a rose joint available for this fitting.

do you no what the tread size is and did you have any luck shaving down the panard rod coler

Ive just left it for now Mark. Have refitted the exhaust and managed to start the car so must have connected the fuel lines up ok at least My main problem now is power steering fluid pi**ing out of the high pressure connection to the steering box so will have to address this tomorrow. There is also a constant really bad screeching like fan belt slipping. The power steering res is being kept full and there is underseal on the fan belt. Any ideas mate. gonna change the fan belt and power steering belt tomorrow too as a precaution.

did you put new seals on the pipe and id start with changing the belts then at least you no thay are new

The pipe was a banjo connection to the steering box with a copper washer each side of the banjo. I reused the copper washers, might get 2 new ones of those as well to be on the safe side.

yer there what i ment lol

The old high pressure pipe was leaking so I got one from cam suzuki to replace it. The end that goes onto the steering box is slightly different to the one I had. The old banjo fitting had a flat cast on the end of the banjo, this one has a flat cast onto the pipe just before the banjo if that makes sense. When I remove the radiator tomorrow ( to do the belts) I will have to get a good close up look of where the banjo meets the steering box to ensure the flat is causing the banjo to not seat properly.

Just done exactly as you suggested Mark and there is now a couple of mm daylight between them woohoo and now I dont have to mess about changing the drag link
