So, trail riding on my outlander I somehow bend a tie rod. The trail was rough, and I was driving aggressive but certainly didn’t hit anything other than bumps in the trail. Seems strange that it would bend, but I hear they’re weak.

Spoke to the dealer, and they said warranty is about 50/50 whether BRP will cover it, since it’s a ‘wear’ item. Considering I often mud, and with 30" tires, it’s understandable it would happen so….

Thinking that it may be worth the money to upgrade them. I see highlifter has a set, but at $185 (shipping incl.) USD, that puts them at $250. A little much for tierods.

AllBalls has an upgrade kit that’s less than half of that. Yes I know, you get what you pay for, but has anyone tried these out? Any good? Or junk?
