My friend and i were riding today and all of a sudden it felt like the steering was really light so i tried to turn and it wouldnt turn. I looked down and saw that only one tire would turn when i turned the bars. so we fliped it up and i saw that where the tie rod is connected to the steering stem had come off the ball and socked joint. anyways i need to know how to put the tie rod back on the stearing stem.
plz help !!!!!!

 

If one of the tie rod ends popped apart, the rest are probably worn to the point of being dangerous.

I'd go out and get a set of 4 tie rod ends and replace all of them. If you measure the length of the tie rod and ends very carefully before disassembly, you sould be able to end up with the alignment pretty close.

 

hondas 4x4s are bad about this with big tires and wheels or alot of mud.and like the other guy said replace them all. rocky mountain
atv has a full set of tusk oem replacment ball joints that are real good DONT go to ebay they are USED cheaper but used always keep some zipp ties with you. you can slide them back together on the trail, tie it together and limp back to the truck .

 

its the rod that connects to the steering nuckle. looks pretty hard to get to the bolt. Whats the best way to get to it?
