Broke both tie rod end on the highway

[Henry95]

Was going to town and hit the brakes for a coyote. Still hit it. Ended up braking both tie rods at highway speed. Left some nice tire marks on the highway ended up in the ditch.

Coming next week. Had it fixed in 2.5 hrs. Took 2 hrs to go get the parts. Sucks the Canadian dollar is so bad over 200 for tie rod sleeves.

Holy Crap.. they broke just from hard braking.. Ill have to look into those sleeves.

shocks, tires and leveling keys are going in this week ill have them install the sleeves if i do not have them..

Make sure your insurance company knows that you had a mechanical failure before you hit the coyote

Same thing happened to me years ago. 84 one ton with a 454. Hammered down in third gear. I'll never forget that wild whipping ride. Glad you're ok!!

$200 for a set of sleeves??? Ship over here sells them for $50 locally. That's nuts man! And I'm in Canada too..

I doubt hard braking was 100% of the cause of the tie rods to snap, 4 wheeling, boosted launches in 4x4, larger tires, lack of grease in the front end components etc.

Not even telling my insurance company. Hit a moose a couple weeks ago. Super lucky though as it only bent the front fender in and broke the mirror on the passenger side. Ended up hitting the ditch from that so they are doing a wheel alignment anyway.

You probably cracked at least one of those tie rods and didnt even notice. Going into the ditch the second time broke them.

Glad you are ok. Trucks can be fixed. Sounds like you need to invest in one of those ranchhand front bumpers, though.

I have never hit anything with the front had a deer do 7000 in damage to the passenger side and now the moose. Makes sense that one was fractured from before. They broke before I went into the ditch.
