Thanks for the pics. This is a very helpful post. One more question. Was the tie rod you broke a 14mm or a 16mm? I know they started putting the 16mm on the 07 because the people were breaking a lot of the 14mm on the 06 model. They started using the 16mm about mid way through 07 so the early 07s still had the 14mm tie rods. I am curious because I have an 06 and heard that the 16mm eliminated most of the broken tie rods and hoped that upgrading to the 16mm tie rod would alleviate my concerns about snapping one of these on the trail. Thanks for the help.
