Steering knuckle reading and tie rod taper tolerancing

[Manifolddesigner]

Howdy all,
I'm finding myself assisting in the design and tolerancing of a steering knuckle. Any recommendations on standards and reference materials?

Also, are there any standard ways of toleracing the tapers for tie rod and ball joints? I've found some machine tool / morse taper tolerance standards, but not much on tie rods.

I am quite sure the rod end supplier will be happy to supply recommendations for fits and finishes.

Cheers
