Hi everyone. My name is Sean and I’m new to this forum. I recently got a used ATV. It is a 2003 Honda 300EX. I am in the process of installing new tie rod ends and I came across a problem. The replacement tie rod ends are much smaller than the ones I took off. Not only are they shorter but the bolt is also smaller in diameter.
A friend of mine suggested that maybe the ones i removed were an upgrade that were larger than the stock ones. They look stock but i don’t know for sure.
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the tie rod ends that come stock on 300EX?
The ones that I removed are 3" long and the bolts on them are 7/16" diameter.
The new ones are 2 5/8" long and the bolts on them are 3/8" diameter.
