A turnbuckle assembly ( 20 ) for use in a steering linkage ( 10 ) of a vehicle includes a first one-piece sleeve ( 30 ) having first and second axial ends ( 32, 34 ). The first axial end ( 32 ) of the first sleeve ( 30 ) has an internally threaded portion ( 36 ) which threadably engages a first threaded part ( 120 ). The first axial end ( 32 ) of the first sleeve ( 30 ) includes an integrally formed clamp ( 38 ) which clamps the first axial end ( 32 ) to the first threaded part ( 120 ). A second one-piece sleeve ( 60 ) has first and second axial ends ( 62, 64 ). The first axial end ( 62 ) of the second sleeve ( 60 ) has an internally threaded portion ( 66 ) which threadably engages a second threaded part ( 122 ). The first axial end ( 62 ) of the second sleeve ( 60 ) includes an integrally formed clamp ( 68 ) which clamps the first axial end ( 62 ) to the second threaded part ( 122 ). A connector member ( 90 ) interconnects the first and second sleeves ( 30, 60 ). The connector member ( 90 ) has a first axial end ( 92 ) non-rotatably connected to the second axial end ( 34 ) of the first sleeve ( 30 ). The connector member ( 90 ) has a second axial end ( 94 ) non-rotatably connected to the second axial end ( 64 ) of the second sleeve ( 60 ).
