💯 Cheap and fast fix, bent tie rod.💪

Something got this truck stuck and there isn't a good place to hook a strap or chain when pulling it out..... So basically when someone hooked to it, they didn't pay attention and accidentally put it around the tie rod as well and bent it. They didn't have a clue what they did and drove it like that till they ruined the front tires.

What did you pull it with? Mine looks like this one after running over a stump covered in leaves. Uggg I need to get up and running. Thank you.

So you can do it by hand with a come along, but I used my winch on my car trailer. I backed my trailer up behind the truck, ran the cable back to the strap, and just let it do all the work.

[@amyreaves8054]

Is that a rachet strap?

[@blantondynamics]

Yup. It's not as hard as it would seem to bend the tie rod. It's just a pipe with threaded ends.

Thank you for the quick answer. I thought why didn’t I think of that? 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for the video. Heading out in a few minutes and we will fix it.

[@amyreaves8054]

Nope.

[@amyreaves8054]

Yep, straps on tree, eased forward and pretty straight. Thanks!

Great glad you were able to get yours fixed
