I'd only be bluffing if I were to pretend I know exactly what you're talking about.
Perhaps I'll have my friend get in touch with you. In the end, we're just trying to strenghten a very weak situation...I'm certain you can appreciate that.
Safety is always the primary concern. When I questioned it, I got back info that supported these connnectors being rated to 32,000 pounds and other data which far surpassed the OEM set-up.
I'm always eager to learn...what more can you explain/tell us?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Don't get me wrong steve, thats a killer idea, if it was not going to hit the road. And yes, the load rating on any TRE (Tie Rod End) is not near what a good quality hiem, but there are no safty factor to a hiem if the strapping around the ball breaks(I have seen a couple go, but after hard,brutal hits). I have some #'s of TRE's at home that we use for steering parts that can withstand some good work outs, and have not had any failures, and if I get out of my shop tonight at a decent hour I will post those part #'s (gm taper with 3/4x18 threaded end)
And here is a link to a rig I am almost done building for a guy so ya don't think I am some Bs'er and I actually know what I am doing,lol...
