| 2 reasons, there's so many different lengths of tie rod end, we ended up having to manufacture 4 differnent ends at great expense, and also because people not using lower arm's with bump stops, used the end of the tie rod end (hitting the lower arm). This broke a couple of shafts in the tie rod end, and we decided it wasn't worth selling them any more.. Our's were actually superb compaired to the toss that every other company apart from Ikeya Formula sell. the cheap ones bind the bearings even on standard lock. The failiure rate is generally so bad that we won't sell them at all, and for most peoples purposes the Tien rod ends are more than adequate. |
