H3 tie rods do break
on the trail. Hey thanks to the peeps on this forum, I did get a spare tie rod @ GMparts or such place and had it on the trail when another H3 broke one. Now I know what changing one takes... alot of muscle torque in a cramp space  . Also... a large crescent wrench, a couple of locking wrenches, a pitch fork looking tool, a small sledge hammer, and a jack lift (maybe). Go get a spare tie rod. DO NOW

The rod that goes from the steering rack (or pitman arm if a recirculating ball steering box is used) to the steering knuckle.
