Fits with dropped axle

Summary: These are needed when using a dropped axle. This is a replacement for another set of the dropped tie rod ends that bent in the threads. This time I made sure the tie rod itself was long enough that only a few threads were showing. Hopefully this time nothing bends.

Yes, I recommend this product.
