I bent my left tie rod. How much is a new tie rod and wat else should i check like maybe the spindle. any thing else.

second my friend needs a new chain. wat chain u guys reocmmand and how much is it. his chain has lasted 11 years. how long do chains last.

third. my mag 325 4x4 is my dads. im gonna buy a sp400. good quad or not. i want irs but i dont need no 500 cc engine. will it las tas long as my mag and is it has fast as it.

 

Dave, the tie rod shouldn't be that much, I think the ends are more, and they're not bad. You should always check over the machine after damage....after all, it's your butt back on their when it's fixed.

Don't know what your friends chain is for, if it's a Polaris, you can check with Hot Seat, or even Rocky Mtn ATV. Count the pins before you call, that'll tell them how long of chain you need. That's some great life-expectancy.

I don't have any experience with the SP400, maybe someone else out there can help out on that one.

Good Luck,
Ken

 

Looks like the tie rod would be 21.00 from EPI catalog

 

opps..forgot the site

thx guys.

its a 1991 trail boss 350L 4x4<---for chain

 

Cheaper then that...11 bucks at the above website if I'm looking at the right bike

 

The sportsman 400 isn't a bad machine but it could use a little more power. I know this cause I own 2 of them. Otherwise its a great quad.

 

for the chain go with RK there hella tough

and for the tie rod. last time i bonked anything hard enough to bend a tie rod i shattered the wheel bearings which caused my whole wheel to fall off and also breaking the strut tower (lots of money in fixing that one)

 

Artic,
I just bent a tie rod also. Instead of buying a new one I just took it off a straightened it with a hammer. Put it back on and it works fine, no other broken parts.
