Re: I FUBARED A Fabtech tie rod

The IFS is better on the street by far than a solid axle set up. Also, the steering is much better when wheeling compared to my older K5 solid axle set up. If you tried to turn, it wouldnt go if you are flexed at all. You have to convert to a high steer or cross over steering to get it to work better. I gues my point is niether are perfect from the factory for wheeling, IFS is better on the street. Also, I would bust U joints in the K5 all the time w/35's and If I had put 37's on there I would have had to go with a D60 front, 12 Bolt FF in the rear or axle shafts would pop quicker than stock H2 tie rods!

So, does anyone make a beefy center link? I thnik the cognito kit strengthes the pittman/idler arms, fabtechs handle the tie rod snapping, and the CL is now my weak link--leading to tie rod wear and failure.
