bent tie rod end safe?

[sugarcoated]

sooooo some of you know mem weeekend i hit a hydrant and flipped end over end, and when i did i bent the tie rod end thingy, well what i want to know is it safe still riding it like that. i just read horror story about tie rod breaking and it got me thinking......

[awames76]

ride it from the trailer into the garage to get it fixed, thats about all id do just to be safe imo

[dunecoon01]

dont ride with it , replace it now and i cant stress now , a buddy of mine didnt listen when we went to waynoka and his broke and he broke his bike cause he wanted to save some cash . kinda stupid not to spend a couple of bucks to stay walking and not in a chair for the rest of your life
