bent tie rod end safe?

[Paulie B]

Hold that thought. I noticed the good one has a small tear in the boot. I took some pic. I'll also throw in the tie-rod too just incase. Let me know

Definately change it! You ride agressive & you don't want in giving out in 4th gear!

yea, i say change it.... nelson is definatly trying to kill you.. lol... sleep with one eye open!

[Mert]

yeah change it fo sho, just imagine if one tire turned 90 degrees while you were going about35 mph, it would be bad news, that thing would launch your ass

u better find out if the need an inner or outer paulie... they are directional thread bro

[Paulie B]

I thought about that. I shipped out both and the tie-rod too just incase

Any bent steering or suspension parts=bad news! Any time you bend a piece of metal it gets weaker, glad you are replacing it sugar, even though your front end doesn't seem to spend much time on the ground!!!!!
