Bent Tie Rods

I bent a left tie rod on 1983 W126 body 300SD.
Drove it home about 30 miles.

Without question you will get abnormal tire wear and
cannot drive it for long.

Replacement tie rod was purchased easily and the replacement took
less than one hour.

My bend was way worse than 5 degrees.

And as stated, please update your signature to show your vehicle type and year.
