Bent tie rod

[munepit]

I bought your biggest and baddest tie rod and bent it. Wow!!! When I was installing this, I was thinking there was no way I could bent this.

I am NOT talking bad about your products. I like them a lot. I guess I need another one to fit my hi steer arms that are on but I'm not using.

Have you heard of these bending before?


Thanks!!!

When you hit rocks with them yes.

We bend 2"X.250 wall tubing links all the time in the rocks.

The nice part about heavy wall tubing is it banana's instead of a crippling type bend.

Take it off, press it sort of straight and use it, you've rolled the sub so now it's time to have fun.

Pretty much what he ^^ said. Not bulletproof but pretty darn tough and definitely not something that will leave you on the trail broken. We've built 2" x .250 tierods before but they sometimes have fit issues and I'm fairly sure that most guys are going to be happier with the DOM tube rather than a heat treated chromo tube at twice or more the price. If you want to look at something stronger we're working on some beefier links for the race car and could maybe get something heat treated at the same time but I short trip through a press is going to make your DOM tube work pretty good again.

You might have other bent stuff to worry about too if you rolled it just recently...
Is that wound still raw? I've had mental soreness from stuff like that.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the replies. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I drove home at 70mph on I-5 for an hr or so and it drove straight.

I will press it back and run it.


Thanks guys!!!!
