I bent my stock tie rod, the one that ties the 2 steering knuckles together? I ran over some trees and stumps or something and I bent mine and now my alignment is all F*ed up

 

I was hoping i could buy it off of someone that doesn need it anymore, but could I just make or have one made by someone It is just an adjustable straight tie rod right?

 

I replaced mine with a Marlink heavy duty tie-rod with FJ80 ends from Marlin Crawler ($127). Here is the link:

It is very heavy. I don't have a great photo of it but you can at least see the diameter in the attached photo. This tie-rod does not have the stock steering stablizer attachment point. You have to have an adapter bracket. Most after stock steering stabilizers come with one or Marlin can also supply you with one.

 

Time for High Steer--get it above the axle and out of the way...

 

I would need new springs for that, mine are bad, sort run into the whole if I do this if I have to do that,right now I need to rebuild the front axle and do a timing chain, so fixing the steering rod I was hoping to do cheaply.
