Well, while leaving the bird lease I let my best friend drive through a ditch. There were no rocks. There we no stumps. Somehow, he ended up bending the drag link. I'm out $100 because I thought it would be fun to play around with the stroke... Oops.. At least it was an easy install. Now I need to get back to the Mazda!!
i would have just tried to bend it back... but hey i am dumb
I thought about it, but it was easier to do this. I don't want to mess around with steering components...you know, like welded pitman arms.
i just bent mine back and then reinfoced it with a piece of 1x1 angle. better than new.
but then again, i bent mine on the trail and not a bar ditch
Yea those things bend, and they straighten just as easy. All it takes is a chain and a good post or such. If you had a superduty you could bend the steering stabilizer, powersteering cooler, and condensor too.
when i slammed my TTB steering into a tree stump that was about 1/2" shorter than my front bumper in actually broke the threads off the outer tie rod...same great deal....$100. no fixing it in my case. but the nutzfab steering has been beat on more than a couple rocks...no bends, no cracked welds. good job.
I need some for myself now. It is bull **** that the drag link can bend without hitting anything. After the stress from bending I didn't want to bend it back because it wouldn't be as strong as it was in the first place.
