Factory tie rod assemblies bend and break. They are simply too small and weak to get the job done, especially in high-stress situations. While they are generally strong enough for stock performance, street driven pick-ups, with the added stress that come from larger tires, racing, and off-road use, they wont hold up for long.

The simple fix for adding strength to your factory tie rods. Simply install over the outer tie rod end by threading on these sleeves. Can be installed in minutes in your driveway.
