My new (been on two weeks) tie-rod bent in half while heading up to Miller Rock. I’m calling crap quality, not necessarily bad diving It happened at the large tree rut step that had a lot of mud and was slick but there was nothing that I recall that should have bent it so easily!
Thanks to Jim and Max who saved the day and brought me home to get my old, slightly bent tie rod to bring back and replace. Jim took some pix, I got a few that I’ll post but here is the carnage. Ordering a heavy duty entire steering linkage tonight.... hope to get it installed next Saturday for a Sunday run
