Multi Field Stripping a Tie Rod

[JACKAL]

Did something hit the tire rod? Or did your tire hit a rock or stump or something else which caused the bend?

The trails I was running when I bent it have some very deep ruts across the trail, but they were filled with snow. I was jamming along about 15 mph hit one and then a deep hole that looked only like a shallow mud puddle and it stopped me dead in my tracks, that bent it some and as we were on snow and ice I kept driving it and it bent further to the point you see in the pictures.

What I mean is that @jak9922 overdrives his machine for the suspension and terrain it is on. You be proud of me JAK I beat the crap outta my bash plate too.

I did that one time it left a bruise on my shoulder from the seat belt it stopped us so hard it threw the ass end about 90 degrees

When I hit something with the right front tire, this happened.



May want to give it a thorough check if you haven't already.

Would have replied sooner covered 400 miles since my last post. Let me know if you can't figure it out. Left and right side are same part #.

I think I got it. It's the END SET, TIE ROD 53010-HL4-A01 right? Anything else I need to get with it or just that and the clip?

Yes that is the correct part #. You also need a boot clamp as you will not get the original off and back on without a special tool. Check beginning of post for an alternative size clamp by member Lee. I used his suggestion it worked perfectly.
