Tie Rod
I have called three dealers and each one tells me that there is no tie rods available in stock and there is no time frame when they will be available from GM....

Re: Tie Rod
I kinda thought Hunner mighta been getting the run around a month or so back when he was looking for a spare set and the dealer told him the only ones showing in inventory nationwide were somewhere in Texas.. He drove there and bought 'em...

Re: Tie Rod
I got three outers and 2 inners before the pond dryed up! My dealer somehow ordered two outers instead of a set. One came from Alaska and one nut from Ms and two from timbucktoo Im hangin on to them. I'm thinkin of puttin them in a glass case, you know like a fire extinguisher, in case of emergency, break glass! I ordered some from GM parts direct two months ago and they said it was a nationwide backorder. Need to fire some inventory guy that makes the most money and wears a tie that cuts off oxygen to the brain up in the big house at GM.
The one I bought at Sewell they charged me $110 American dollars. Do people in Dallas put up with that daily? I bought one for 45 online and from my dealer 65. Old college addage in marketing, what the traffic will bear.............I had the feeling it was gonna happen. I started out wanting an extra to carry along way out in Sedona, Moab, Long Ranch and Colorado. Then when I found out how scarce they were I decided I needed two. Now I got two and 1/2! Hope I never need them but after driving 1400+ miles I thought maybe it would be nice to have one.
I needed a spare for R&D
Just another H3 story..............

Re: Tie Rod
That is crazy what if your are stuck in BFE waiting for parts?
I have to figure out what thread size I have first but I gues I'll put my order in and wait.
I wonder if there are any off brands (none GM OEM) that would do.

So how much would you sell me one inner tierod?
Damn man, spoke with a friend at the dealership and he said GM will send out a nationwide bulletin on the 25th on when, where, and who will get thier shipments first.
This sucks!! I need one NOW!!! Anyone who is willing to sell it to me let me know!
Thanks!
