I bent my tie rod 4wheeling this weekend. Doh! Has anyone ever tried straightening a tie rod.

Does anyone have one for sale that is in good shape in the Portland/Vancouver area? I would like to find one fairly cheap since i plan to upgrade to a dana 60 front end soon.

Thanks a bunch

Hmm...I doubt you'd want to straighten one, unless you plan the swap very soon. Alignment is pretty sensitive to anything bent, and that's a pretty vital part. I'd bet you could pick up a cheap one pretty easy. Good luck!
