So, after bending my beefy stock tierod, I was thinking about what I can do to stop this from happening too frequently.
Would a piece of tube with an ID of the TR be the best bet(sleeve it)? Or would a piece of solid stock, inserted into the TR, with an OD the same as the TR ID work better?
I dont want to do any fancy shmancy aftermarket steering setup as I only have 3" of lift, and would prefer a completely stock-ish setup. What all have you folks done to alleviate the problem?
Also, if the tierod fails first, does this mean something else will fail? Kinda like hooking up a 600hp engine to a Dana 35 with 49" tires and a driver that likes the skinny pedal. You want the u-joints to break before the axle does...understand the analogy? Anyways, lemme hear what ya got.
Thanks
