They survived Pioneer Takeover in TN, Drummond Island and our UP trip. During the UP trip or Takeover I bent both SuperATV upper a-arms under the shock mounts. Something tells me I'm going to be ok with the new tie rods. At this point I have over 600 hard miles on them and they feel good and are straight. I'm still not running steering stops with SuperATV arms.@ToddACimer how are those new tie rods holding up, I am sure they are way better than the old ones - any of these bending that you have heard of?
