What?s better than the Fabtech tie rod ends?
Well, I?ve had the Fabtech tie rod ends on my Hummer for almost 2 years and one of them are worn.
My last H2 I had for 4 years and never ran into a problem. I haven?t even off roaded this one yet it?s worn already.
So, any better replacements for the Fabtechs or should I just bite the bullet and buy new ones.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: What?s better than the Fabtech tie rod ends?
IMO Fabtech Tierods suck balls now... Their steel is made in China now and have had really bad reviews the last few years. I would highly recommend going with a pair of RareParts or Kryptonite Tierods, they're huge and will last you way longer than Fagtech.

The quality of the Fabtechs and Cognitos are junk now. I would not put either on my truck. I had the Cognitos that lasted a year. I went with the Rare Parts tie rods, Kryptonites were on backorder.

Mark, stay clear of Fabtech's now. Their quality has changed quite a bit over the 4 years. They are now failing more and more.
The ones I would go with are:
http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_173_30&p roducts_id=377
OR
http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_173_30&p roducts_id=227
The Kryptonite ones are the better of the two. They had a recal, but have now been taken care of. I would go with the 1st link.

I did a lot of research on GMFS.com before I bought mine and everyone says the Krytonite are the best.
