having just broken a tie rod, I'm not sure that a wheel gaining traction is enough to break one, it is a little under-sized for a vehicle of 6500+ lbs bouncing over boulders, but still the biggest one GM puts in their trucks. I had to slam mine pretty hard on a side slope to break it. However, I must admit that I am not as experienced as some here on the forum (you). I haven't seen the video, but I thought a rock flipped up and nailed it?
