gregrob Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 I meant tie rod ends. They are ball joints but he needs to use them for ti rod ends lol. Hes the tie rod end punisher Quote
okbeast Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 What exactly is he doing to break them? Jamming them sideways or what? Quote
someone82 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Think of tierod ends as fueses, you put those beastly ball joints on your tierods and you'll start bending/breaking other things that are more expensive. Quote
ny98banshee350 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 THOSE THINGS ARE AWESOME!!! i wonder if they fit wicked a arms?? Quote

bonbon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I have heard that he is a rod punisher......... :ermm: That just went way wrong. Although I did just laugh my ass off. I kept bending tie rod ends at Walden last weekend. Too wide, catching the sides of ruts with my mohawks and bending the ends. Also hit a tree once and that didn't help. Quote

I have been using some rode ends I got from Janssen awhile ago without any trouble. The tie rods themelves are something I made 8 years ago out of some bizarre military surplus PH Stainless Steel. I don't believe the ends gregrob found fit a Banshee. I looked into a couple years ago when they came out. Quote

I looked into a couple years ago when they came out. I just bought some stock replacements for now. I hadn't had a problem with bending them until last weekend. Next time I go back there I will have my stock fronts on and will flip and swap my back wheels so I'm not so wide. That ought to help out quite a bit. I don't think I have to worry about the tie rods themselves, they are the beefy ones from LSR. I swear they weigh 20 pounds by themselves. They are a good solid product. Quote

Yeah, the LRS rods are pretty hardcore. You're definitely messing something else up before those bend. :thumbsup: Quote
jbooker82 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 I have a pair of ASR Pro X tie rods on my raptor. They are the honda style where the rod threads in to the joint instead of the otherway around. I bet you couldnt bend one of these with out tearing something else up. josh http://www.amstarmanufacturing.com/X-SeriesTieRods.html Quote
NOS_350x Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 The ball joint showed is for the a-arm, Not tie rod. I got some tie rods on my bike and they are extremely strong. I like them soo much better. Quote
