Lift on the way

I don't know...you saw what happened to that Ranger when they took it out to test it!

Good point... Ranger Resurrection turned Ranger Redestruction! That would be my luck...

Well here is something that will ruin your weekend project and your two year wedding anniversary…

So I took the VX down to Les Schwab to get the alignment done and an hour and a half later the guy comes out and tells he broke the Tie rod. So now I have to wait at least four days and pay 176 bucks.


Watch out pal

Look at it as an excuse to get HD tie rods!

Well thats 200 bucks for the set it appears, from independent4x. what is the benefit? just more durable?

EDIT: So I am ordering the HD tie rods from Indy4x. It makes no sense to me to pay almost 200 for one when I can get the replacement set of serious ones for almost the same price. I am calling the suckers tomorrow and telling them to not touch it and to not order the replacement.

Ya might want to call & get an estimate of how long it will take to get these...
when I bought mine, they were having problems getting their hands on enough tie rod ends, this may have been solved by now ?

If you need a stock replacement, pm me your shipping addy. & I'll overnight it to you.
You can return it & re-emburse me @ Moab.

I will call indy4x in the morning, either way Les Schwab is NOT working on my baby anymore. They will get it out of their shop tomorrow and that will be that.

Thanks for the heads up and the offer, I really appreciate it.

EDIT: Also if these are not available, can anyone recomend another place that I can get them from?

I would file for the shop to pay you $176 dollars + time they charged you to break the tie rod. Iv done it in the past; and they are legally responsible to pay you that money. Only way they can get out of it is if you signed a contractual agreement prior to them working on your VX, that included a disclaimer releasing ALL liability.

$176 is a nice chunk of $199 plus shipping.

Why do YOU have the pay $176 if THEY broke it?!?

That is what my wife is argueing. Their point of view is, well it is a wear part and it could have broken at any shop or any place.
