KenP,
When I dropped my SUT off Monday for the face lift. That was one question the shop owner had for me. We discussed FabTech's beefier (if it's a word?) parts & the only weak link was the 7/16" threaded end where the tie rods connect. He said that this would still create a problem & would not make the truck indestructable since something always has to give.
The only solution was to change front ends or modify the OEM parts...I'm not to keen on changing the front end of a truck with 3K miles on it, so I may try to modify in some fashion. The only remedy I can come up with is manufacture parts & cut out the weak items. Since I have these capabilities at hand I will probablly opt for this route. I'll keep you up dated over the next few weeks.
My suggestion is replace the bent tie rod or threaded piece...which ever it is. Just my POV... Good luck with it!
