FABTECH Tierods DO bend

[2-H2's]

Para,

Exactly what I was talking about...the guy at the four wheel drive shop was concerned with the 7/16" fitting the FabTech tie rod screws into. He thinks this will become a problem after he installs my lift kit. He had 3-4 GMC trucks in replacing this exact item when I was there.

I'm thinking of cutting the 7/16" threaded piece off an manufacture a large piece I can drill & tap 5/8" or better...weld up or better yet sleeve the FabTech tie rod ends or manufacture new ones from B-7 or something with a little more strength. I haven't decided anything final yet. But if KenP finds that this was his problem it will confirm what my shop dude was concerned with. Fabing up a centerlink shouldn't be a problem, it would be cheaper than replacing the whole front end.

I'm just looking for a cure...then something else will become the weak link / problem.

Like I said before, just my POV...and IF KenP finds out that this is the culprit, I'll be modifying to remedy this from occuring to my rig.
