Hey everyone,
After a weekend of serious wheelin I noticed the steering was a little heavy. I looked at the tie rod ends and there it was, bent up. The strange thing is, it actually handles better at high speeds (a toe-in problem had caused it to wobble before the bending) I just shudder to think of what would happen were it to break at speed tho...
BTW, its a Prairie 300 2x4 (best i could afford)!
If I know it would probably be better to fix, but it is really a hassle as the shop is an hour away.
Thanks.
Jeo

ain`t nothing wrong with a 300. you can have fun on any machine!
if its not bent too bad, try bending it back. i did this on my 400 4X4
a month ago. and it rides fine. if not buy a new end, they are easy to replace.


good luck! wayde
