I tried looking but couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have currie tie rod currectlyn system if that helps. I went to replace the tie rod end. Rh thread is passenger LH thread on driver. I noticed mine is backwards. Does it matter? I've been driving it this way since I bought it. Had a little drift but my tie rod end on the driver side was worn. It's a straight bar so I don't think it should matter but I could be wrong. What's your input?

I had to edit this because I put track bar instead of tie rod ..sorry folks just having one of those days

@mrblaine or @Jerry Bransford will know for sure, but I had mine backwards at first and had to re-install it the right way. It was easy enough to do that I didn't want to take any chances.

The relatively current version has the grease fitting oriented in such a manner that they determine which end goes where.

The TRE with the grease fitting in the side of the body goes on the passenger side, the one with it in the cap goes on the driver's side. They both used to be in the cap but the one on the passenger side would frequently get mowed off due to contact with the trackbar mount on the axle or the swaybar link mount.

Ahhh yes! That's what it was! I have the previous version and the grease fitting was inaccessible when it was installed backwards. That's why I had to put it the right way. Blaine made me remember why I had to do it.

Makes sense, thanks for the help. I got it ask buttoned up and greased. I knew I could find the answer here.

1) UNIFORMS: You will need to order a uniform. You will order directly from the uniform Company. You need to email me FIRST for a jersey number - I assign the numbers for the players so we don't have any duplicates. Email me for a number and I will send you the link the ordering site.



2) PICTURES: Please log into your player's GotSoccer player profile and upload a picture. This picture needs to be a head and shoulder's shot of your child's face only. No group or action shots please. The Picture is printed on their player card and is used for identification purposes. We need to be able to make out their beautiful faces!



3) TRAINING SHIRTS: please come by the field office to get your 2 Cotton Ajax Training shirts. All registered players get new shirts once a year. Additional shirts can be purchased for $5 or we have Dry Fit Training Shirts for purchase for $10. We ask that your child wear these shirts each time they attend training. Sometimes, they will use them for games, if there is a need.



4) PAPERWORK: please visit the webpage below and print off the needed registration paperwork. Your child cannot participate in games until I have these forms in my possession. These is a checklist listed with the forms to be sure you know what I need to complete your player's registration. If you are new to AJAX, please also include a copy of your child's birth cert (I will not keep it) to verify their birthdate in the system.




5) COMMUNICATION: we use email, Facebook, Twitter and the Ajax Website to communicate the "going's-on" of the club to you. Emails might get sent to JUNK/SPAM, so please make sure you tell your email host that mass emails from me are A-OK!. Like us on FB and Twitter for more immediate information (mainly weather related).



QUESTIONS? Don't hesitate to email questions when you have them. Mike and I will get to them as soon as we can. Usually within 24-36 hours.

Please do not text questions to me. I would prefer to track issues and questions via email.





Blessings,

Saw that. No idea...

He must be drunk or something. I was going to delete it, but I figured I'd let it stay there for a while, at least until he explains himself, LOL.
 
He admitted via text message that he was high on doctor prescribed drugs... LOL
That explains it. He has my empathy. I have to be very careful of posting drunk, or when I'm really tired / late at night. Nonsensical, stupid shit seems to fall out of my mouth and then it's on the internet forever!

I am recovering from a serious spine surgery and thanks to the medication have become narcoleptic and just fall asleep without any warning. Lately I've been falling asleep while sitting down to take a dump. I wake up, startled, from the sound of my iPhone 7 Plus hitting the tile floor.

This has happened at least 10 times.

Also, I'll be typing and mid sentence I asleep.
