Anyone tried these tie rods?

When you upgrade your tie-rod ends, think about adding stronger tie-rods. Just speaking from experience.

Didn't you make your tie rods...

I have had several Polaris ATV's with the same tie rod ends. At first I only got at best a 1000 miles out of a set. Then I got a 6" grease gun and bought the 4" pointed tip for it. Every few hundred miles I would slide the tip under the rubber boot on the shaft and fill it with grease. I would squish it around inside the boot with my fingers and I never replaced one again. They stayed as tight as new for over 2,000 miles. You might want to try this. The grease does two things, it keeps out water and lubricates.

That's a good idea. Can u grease the stock ones?

Read above post..

Im asking him because this is the aftermarket thread. I was just seeing if he is talking about the stock or aftermarket ones. Sounds like the stock ones. Also the reason I ask is if u grease the aftermarket ones as well. I would think regardless u should grease them

Yeah, it'll ruin your day and anyone trying to help you out of the "middle-of-nowhere". Stock one (tubular)broke at the end of the internal thread. Improved one (solid) broke the same way. Here's an old post.

Thanks Daryl! I'm still a learning! Just making sure!
