Hello
I have some bad Tie rods on my Houser long travel a-arms. I was looking on Houser`s website and they was pretty expensive. I want to replace all my tie rods.
Do i need to have Housers Tie rods on my Houser a-arms or will other Tie rods fit aswell ? Like something cheaper ?
I was looking on Ebay but i do not know what brand is good or what is bad.

And those lower tie rods on my LT A-arms was hard to get out!! :eek2:

bud, I think you are talking about ball joints. try that in an ebay search. tie rods connect the steering stem to the spindles. ball joints connect the a-arms to the spindles. hope that helps

almost all threads are the same on tie rod ends for the 250r, aftermarket a arms or not. A set of stock ones will work just fine.

Yes, stock ones must be quality or Roll Design wouldn't use them.
