Tie Rods - 380 and 450

[davidbrady]

Thanks Ross,

I'm all in favor of doing whatever we can to keep these magnificent birds (M380's and M450's) on the road as safely as possible.

Please folks let's document what we can in regard to these tie-rod ends. We want owners to be aware of what tie-rod end they're running, the visual differences between the 'new' and 'old', and the part numbers. This is especially important if you're counting on a 16000 lb steer axle rating.

Aim your phone camera's in the vicinity of the tie rod and snap a photo. If you turn the steering wheel full lock I'm certain we can build a collection of worthy photos. For those who are especially enterprising a diameter measurement of the rod using a digital caliper would be great. I'll do what I can to tabulate and file here on WaGu whatever data we collect. Thanks!
