Hey, I bent my left handed axle housing gear pin actuator last week! I switched it with an extra right handed torque extender pin and everything was fine. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
The way I use my machine I might be better off ordering a tie rod now...its only a matter of time...

tell us how you did that? left and right are not interchangeable unless you.................swapped ends???!!!
I thnk it was said best that if the tie rod is bent in the future, just adjust the toe in and keep on truckin'. The front wheels don't know the tie rod is bent. There is a good thing about this that if you do bend the tie rod, put the bent area towards the motor so it doesn't hang down so low............hhhhmmm /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I wish I had a picture of the link that a customer bent in half on a 3054. The steel bent into a big "U" before it snapped the tierod threads. bent it str8 and borrowed my favorite Lancaster natives welder and weld the end back on, so I could get it loaded on the truck.
