Default Bent Tie Rod

Morning all. Anyone know by chance what, if any, aftermarket tie rod will fit in a Pro Comp series 98 steel wheel? 15" with 3.75" BS. Was out wheeling this weekend, and I bent mine pretty good. Threw a tow strap on it, attached a winch to the strap, and slowly pulled it 'straight'. Not perfect, by not as bad as it was. No wobble or shimmies on the 45min 65mph ride home. Heres an after pic, after we kinda straightened it out.

I've got a Synergy chromoly tie rod and I'm running 15's. It's a tight squeeze, but it fits. So far it's held up to all the abuse I put it through. Plus, both ends are identical and replaceable!


$325.00 at Northridge 4X4 & free shipping. Give them a call. They shoul be able to tell you if it'll fit with your wheels & back spacing.

I can tell you that the Currie barely fits in a 16 inch wheel--I have to make sure they don't put any balance weights on the inner edge of the wheel because they will be scraped off. So I'd say a 15 is a no go.

Here's a pic of my Synergy bar. It's a tight fit but no rubbing at all.
