Super and heavy duty tierods
With performance brake and wheel options, stock tie-rods are prone to bending that can lead sloppy handling. Turning those big wheels and tires isn’t easy. The stock tie-rods were designed for 4″ wide wheels and 165 tires. Not too many of us still run that setup, so why run the stock tie-rods?
Super Duty tie rods are manufactured from DOM tubing and feature a 60% thicker tube wall when compared to stock tie-rods. Standard (Bug) tie-rod ends can be used, and lock nuts are supplied with the kit. Flats are machined into the outer end to allow for a 19mm wrench, which avoids the use of pliers on the outside of the tie rod shaft when locking the jam nuts. The super duty’s are designed for competition use. All T1 applications are priced at $C65/pair (with jam nuts).
Heavy Duty tie rods are also constructed from DOM tubing. This tie rod provides a 14% greater wall thickness over stock without being excessively heavy. Both ends are knurled for an easy grip when adjusting. Unlike the super duty’s, a flat is not machined in the end. Heavy duty tie-rods are perfect for a performance street car.
If your foot is excessively heavy or you are too enthusiastic in the corners, then VdubEngineering recommends the Super Duty’s. All T1 applications for $C55/pair with jam nuts. We can fulfill any size (ie narrowed beams etc.)
NOTE: Custom applications can be fulfilled; sandrails, T2’s, etc…please inquire.
