But only...only if it has converse threads! Stripping those suckers is the kiss of death!

I have a power steering cylinder that one end mounts on a 1.125" ball stud. Stud needs to be about 2" long and somewhere around 1/2" diameter. I've busted up old ball joints and tie rod ends. Nothing the right size. RV sway bar balls are 1.250". Suggestions or source?

Take the sample in to your local auto parts stores. Even if they don't and can't get, they may be able to identify the vehicle this came off of. Then contact the dealer and/or salvage yards with the info. Sounds heavy for a car, was this off heavy equipment?

Who made the p/s cylinder? Don't they sell them? As usual (for the Web) the original question didn't contain enough info for people who might want to help to know what you need.

Got some checks coming in this week. The box gets shipped when I get the first one.

That's silly brainwashing by branding. An Adidas thread is just as good.

Paint it Pink, then use a Pink 7/82nd Octipedial Adjuster on it. (Or is that the 82/7ths Adjustable Octipedial Flanger?) But be sure not to nurdle the cordwainers.

My point exactly. If the OP states what he has, in detail, what he wants to do, what he's tried, what he thinks is the problem, etc. then a whole lot of questions don't have to be asked by anyone who is trying to help him. Details are gold.

(P.S: Got a shipment date for my rasps/files, dude?)

Bbbut, what if he only has a Sextipedial Adjuster with 79/7ths flanger? Huh, what then?

One has to sneaker up on converse threads.

I bought these from Surplus Center. They have no more info other than the size of the ball as stated in their description when I bought these last 2 some years ago. They have no markings, labels, stampings of any kind. The socket that fits on the ball is the valve for the cylinder. It is built into the end of the cylinder. O'Reilly's and a local industrial supply couldn't come up with one in their catalogs.

Even a ball I could drill and put a stud into would work. I haven't been able to find any specs for CV joint balls. I've looked at a hundred spherical stud rod ends. They give every dimension except the ball diameter.

Thanks for your suggestion.

===================== As this is machining related, should I put OT [on topic] on the subject line?

If you have a manual lathe this sounds like a job for a spherical turning tool. 1_1/4 diameter should not be that expensive. Wonderful excuse for more tools... Piece of cake to program on a cnc lathe.

make, borrow or buy a ball turning tool

Oh, in that case nothing he can do but pulled the cordwainer and let it fly. (Best done from behind a secure shelter.)

I've seen something similar on Kenworth 40 ton trucks. It was a sort of power assist steering - a cylinder connected between the drag link and the frame. turning the steering wheel moved the drag link which started to turn the road wheels and opened a valve in the end of the hydraulic cylinder and assisted in turning the wheels - reversing the movement of the road wheel changed the valving to move the cylinder the other direction. This was a lot of years ago but someone in a heavy truck shop might help you.

Exactly John. They are power assist cylinders. I've tried forklift and tractor dealers. Didn't think of trucks. Just assumed they had power gear boxes.

They may well have today. Try to find a gray headed mechanic :-)

No, no, no. You really need a turbo encabulator.
