OK I got right about 12 threads one either end......But I'd still check the alignment after your done......Hope that helps ya a little.....Our machines are different years and models so I'm not sure how accurate it will be....

Trees don't really hurt, it is just that sudden stop when you are moving forward and it blocks you. Kissed one a few years back to the tune of 1100$. Again tree didn't hurt but I sure did.

ha ha, nearly indestructible.... and i got ALLOT more broken....

I replaced the tie rod, and after all the ice thawed off i found allot more dammage...

-my a-frame is bent.... bad... needs replacing
- where the a-frame meets the large long silver thing that the shock goes onto, the stud out of the bottom is bent....

and god knows what else...

i reported it to insurance.... we'll see how big of a bill i can rack up...

How'd you make out with the alignment? Was the 12 threads close? Ut oh, my bad....Guess you can't get it aligned till you get the rest of the bent parts figured out.......Let us know....

We are going to go piece by piece and see how it goes...

the a-arm is bent as bad as the tie rod.... so i am buying one of those tomarrow...

as far as where the a-arm connects to, we are hoping that once we get everything back to normal, that it will not need to be replaced... if so , than there is another 250.00 ( i believe)

I couldnt be so lucky to only have a tie rod bent....

you pay to play...
