Abstract
A positive stop clamp for clamping a cross tube of a tie rod to a tie rod end includes a one-pieced clamp body having a U-shape cross section and a locking fastener. The clamp body includes two flat ends, each end having a pair of inwardly bent ears whereby a substantially circular interior is defined. The body further includes a cantilevered locator tab having a flange at its end. The flange abuts the end of the cross tube to locate the clamp at the desired point on the tube.
