Extended Tie Rods

dragos28

I have my Yamaha G2 lifted on a double bracket lift and the tie rods are too short, there by causing my wheels to be toed out



I've been searching the interwebs but I didnt find anything.

does anyone sell just the tie rod in a longer length?
Right now it's 8.5" and i'd need it to be 9.5"
that measurement is on just the actual "threaded sleeve" in the middle not from end to end

I did mine, there is a pipe (black pipe for plumbing) maybe 1/2" that fits over the tie rod pretty well. I cut the rod and used the pipe to make it longer, then welded it. I figure since the pipe is larger its stronger, and that pipe is something like 1/8" wall thickness. Never had a problem with it and I used to drive over bare RR tracks with it, and other odd things.

I was thinking about cutting and welding in a section.
I'll check out the McMaster site, if they have something affordable then i'll order it.
But i like the idea of the black pipe.
Thanks Sho!

I cut mine and welded in a piece of steel rod. I just turned the end down so it would fit inside of the original on both ends and welded them.

That's a lot of lift on that cart, lets see more pictures!

Thanks Smokin.

I'll take it out to the hills and give it hell!
