Well I recently went off roading, and bent my tie rod or something.. Im no mechanic and this is my first vehicle. what looks wrong in this pic? I can only turn right a little,, which causes it to make huge right turns.
holy **** guy. how did you manage to pull that one off? that tie rod is supposed to be straight. also while youre fixing that you might want to pay some attention to your frame as well guy!
looks like we had some fun!!!
i think you're going to need a new tie rod from the junkyard. you got any in your area? if its a pull-your-own, you can practice on removing yours. probably need a pickle fork/big hammer or a 2 jaw puller or an idler arm puller to separate the joints.
you might could remove yours and heat it up and straighten it. but, i don't know that i'd bet my life on it for a street driven vehicle. offroad only would be ok, but not street.
you need to get that fixed asap. 50 miles driving with a tie rod like that, and you will ruin your tires. Not to mention go out of control into a ditch.
ALso, it soedn't look like he has a steering stabilizer.
