Arizona carnage

[CyrusPaice]

Take a look at the damage pics. Legends Cadillac (A local Arizona Hummer Dealership) wants $1522 to fix drivers side broken "center link". Am i getting ripped off? Let me know what you guys think! Is there any aftermarket parts to solve this problem?

Sounds pretty high! You can buy the centerlink with 2 new inner tierods for around 310$ (estimated, I bought for 280 a few years ago) gm parts direct , was the site I believe. Sounds like way too much for labor.

You are brave riding around on 40's with factory tierods. Nice setup the non existing back windows is realy cool looking.

That's a broken tie rod. $80 at the stealership. Buy some much sturdier ones from FABTECH.

typically when you break the inner tie rod the dealership tries to make you buy the entire centerlink assembly even though all you need to replace is the tie rod. As suggested, buy the tie rod only, better ones if you like. Get someone other than the dealership to do the work for much less.

Fabtech Tie Rods are the only way to go.

Too lazy to look in the forum, but since we're on this topic now, will the Fabtech tie rods work with stock suspension? I know they replace the OE version but will they work with a non-lifted suspension? Anyone?

Cheers!

Thanks for all the help guys! I was going to order the Fabtech tie-rods, then the dealer suggested these. When I first saw these, I was impressed! When I asked what brand these were they said they were custom made. Anybody recognize them?

I am considering just buying all the parts and making my own set? Looks simple enough. Some spherical ends a couple of bolts and what looks like a sway bar end link???

HIEM JOINTS FOR OFF ROAD ? are not the way to go, unless you plan on just cruseing VanBuren sporting your bling get the Fabtech tierods. noticed you are a used car dealer by your plate. so you should know better than to trust the word of a Hummer dealer ,he will high gross you to death .

That trail you were wheeling on looks like my driveway! :D

How did you ever manage to break a tierod on such tame terrain!?

It usually takes an offroad trail <Like This> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxrdwXXat14) to break an OEM tierod! :D

[johndjmix1]

haha I was going to say the same thing. Come out to Colorado, take the trip up Storm Mountain =).

Sweet H2 tho....love the paint/tire/wheels combo.

Guys, I checked fabtech's site (Figure I should swap them in before I break my stock ones) and it says (For use with Fabtech Suspension System ONLY). ???

Great Vid! LOL! I feel your pain! Regarding my tierods, the angle of the pics looks easy but it was probably 70 degrees or worse.
