    Bent tie rod :(

    So whilst doing my manual conversion I noticed my passenger side tie rod is bent, kinda badly as you can see in the picture.

    I ignored it for a while as I wanted to just get the conversion done and get her back on the road, but now its on the road the handling is terrible, to the point i'm convinced the car is trying to kill me, have to have a Hulk grip on the steering wheel at all times, twitchy as hell going over normal slightly uneven / bumpy road surfaces etc. I need to replace my rear adjustable arms but want to replace this part as well before I have a full tracking and alignment done.

    I was thinking of buying these: http://www.driftworks.com/tein-tie-rods.html

    Does anyone have any recommendations ?

    I bought apex ones and they are good but those uprated ones look pretty special

    As far as I'm aware Tein End fits S14 OEM rods? Its one of those things if you can, id replace the rods with Tein items too, make it all nice and fresh. Fit and forget

    I opted for some blueprint / OEM replacements from jap parts in the end, its more of a weekend / summer fun car then a drift car so couldn't really justify the extra spends on some tein's, dont think I will ever need the extra lock, sorry if that is blasphemy to some lol.
