Need heim joint tie rods help
I need to make some custom length tie rods for my G1 with atv suspension. I have seen some people use heim joints, is this a good option? I can't seem to find a good source on the internet and was hoping someone here could help me out?

Re: Need heim joint tie rods help
Okay ill post lol, I would think a heim joint would be plenty strong. If your local tractor supply doesnt have them, you can check out Mcmaster carr website.

Re: Need heim joint tie rods help
Sorry to dig this thread back up from the dead, but I was just curious if I could use heim joints on my stock EZGO marathon instead of the traditional tie rod ends. Would that be unsafe, or a perfectly acceptable method? Can't imagine it'd be any less safe than the sloppy (I'm guessing original) tie rod ends. Will probably put a lift on at some point, just haven't yet.

Re: Need heim joint tie rods help
Good quality Heims are by-far better than stock ball-joint type rod-ends.Just remember that the holes in the steering-arms are tapered,so you will need to drill them out to a standard size(7/16" or 1/2" likely),and buy rod-ends to match.Hope this helps.
