Tie Rod Reccomendations

Can anyone make a recommendation on replacement Tie Rods? I found a couple comments that OEM was best for the inners?


Thanks in advance for your help

Ive replaced both inner and outer tie rods so many times I've lost count. IMO its best to go OEM. Use you existing ones as trail spares you will probably need them at some point. It's a critical part so I wouldnt go cheap.

On a side note I really wish Marlin Crawler would build their Toyota IFS HD Steering system quicker. We sorely need it

Yeah I agree. This is the second time I've damaged mine, Went OEM replacement the first time, I was just wondering if there was something stronger. Thanks

I think the challenge of a stronger tie rod solution is the potential to frag the steering rack like I did a month ago. We really need a total replacement of all steering components. Again, hoping Marlin Crawler will deliver there eventually.

Sounds interesting to me!

Would totally get their system in a heartbeat if they released it. Their stuff if bombproof! I have their LCA frame braces/cam tabs and damn those plates were heavy. Haven't lost an alignment yet.

Makes me wonder...what steering rack was the Marlin equipped 4runner at KOH using?

EDIT: Looks like it was running the prototype (2nd one made) MarRack. Steel City Racing & Marlin Crawler: KOH 2019 Toyota 4Runner IFS 4600 Build
