tie rod end

[THR36]

i think my tie rod end is bent? if it is bent as bad as i think it is how much would that through my toe off in the front end?

[440ex. ehhh!!]

i guess you could just correct it by aligning it again.
put it in a press and try bending it back, ive done that with a Ex and a yfz tie rod

No the tie rod end that bolts to the end of the spindle

[440ex. ehhh!!]

OH! wow. thats crazy. idk how you managed to bend that but not the actual rod. :confused:
i dont think it would make a difference. can you put pics up?

Well I think the ball joint on the tie rod end is bent

buy a new one trust me. That is one part that you DO NOT want to break on you when your about to take off from a jump or about to land, or when you are ripping through a field.

Its not worth it. Just replace it and call it a day

you can just buy the new end.. jorge is right.. if you go the cheap route on ball joints , tie-rods, and ends, it can be pretty dangerous..i have bent tie rods back and they seem to just get weaker and bend worse the next time..i started taking a piece of metal tube putting it over the tie rod and welding it on to make them stronger for my friends that race woods..
