NoahDL88 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Have you been breaking tie rods? i've wheeled pretty hard and never had one go bad, the radius rod sure, thats junk, but the tie rods seem to hold their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 if you want heavier, get yourself some metal of appropriate size, shape, weight, zip ties, hose clamps, and a couple rolls of chinese electrical tape, and have at it, works good, and lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rguyver Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 RX's and XT6's have bigger tirods and they are a direct swap to any EA82 type car or a stronger way is to cut the rod and sleave over a tight fitting pipe and weld the ends , if properly welded it should be stronger then the stock ones .

Qman Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Guarranteed to break other tihngs for sure. They work like fuses when you hit things to hard. Better there then somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
