Default What?s better than the Fabtech tie rod ends?

Well, I?ve had the Fabtech tie rod ends on my Hummer for almost 2 years and one of them are worn.

My last H2 I had for 4 years and never ran into a problem. I haven?t even off roaded this one yet it?s worn already.


So, any better replacements for the Fabtechs or should I just bite the bullet and buy new ones.

Thanks,

Mark

IMO Fabtech Tierods suck balls now... Their steel is made in China now and have had really bad reviews the last few years. I would highly recommend going with a pair of RareParts or Kryptonite Tierods, they're huge and will last you way longer than Fagtech.

The quality of the Fabtechs and Cognitos are junk now. I would not put either on my truck. I had the Cognitos that lasted a year. I went with the Rare Parts tie rods, Kryptonites were on backorder.

Mark, stay clear of Fabtech's now. Their quality has changed quite a bit over the 4 years. They are now failing more and more.

The ones I would go with are:
http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_173_30&p roducts_id=377
OR
http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_173_30&p roducts_id=227

The Kryptonite ones are the better of the two. They had a recal, but have now been taken care of. I would go with the 1st link.

I did a lot of research on GMFS.com before I bought mine and everyone says the Krytonite are the best.
