While rebuilding my front end, I noticed my tusk cheapo tie rod ends were a little worn out. I went online and wanted somthing that would last a little longer this time, so I went with All Balls thinking you get what you pay for (they were 10 bucks more a pair). I get them and the rubber that holds in the grease wasnt sealed all the way around and was actually leaking. Anyways, I installed them and noticed after 2 hours of riding that the rubber had completely had squished itself and was not doing its job anymore. I had a race this past weekend where I was tapped out for a mile at a time and noticed the front end feeling a bit loose. I pull my quad off the truck today and was checking my bars seeing if everything was alright, but only one side was reacting to my quick movements. I washed the bike and to find out the nut had almost come off (thank god for safety pins) and now I cant thread it back up because the joint has come too loose causing the whole joint to spin.

If I had to buy again, I would go with the tusk tie rod ends. They atleast held up till I took them off the bike.

I have run the Ricky Stator tie-rods and ends all of last years racing season with all of the practice too, and am running the same ones this year too, they are a little more $$$$$ but well worth it to me..... They also have grease zerks on them too!!!!
