Where is the best place to source both complete tie rods for trail spares? Junk yard? Part Stores?

I have heard Ranger Tie Rods are the same? True or false?

Thank you...my local Ford dealer said the left and right were different part numbers...which had different prices as well....but we know how that is I guess.

I have a Badlands Sasquatch. Will that Hoss fit?
And, if both sides are the same, wouldn't one be sufficient? What are the chances you'd snap both on one trip?

I upgraded to the icon tie rods and keep my oem for potential repairs

The inner rods are the same part. The outers are different. Most people have only spare inner, since it is the part that bends/breaks.

Hoss 2. Wildtrak hoss 3 rods also fit (must replace inner, outer, and nut), but the boot is not an exact fit. Both can bend at the same time in some cases.

I am waiting on some FabTech tie rods..just not sure when they will show up.

Don't waste money and space on carrying complete spares, the inner is the weak one and the inners are the same on both sides. EV317 for 98-11 Ranger is what you want if you want to save a buck.

I recall there was a super cool guy here once that sold a repair kit. It should show up in a search.

Makes sense... my Icons came in less than a week. Hopefully your FabTech show up soon

Timely thread, my brand new Bronco has damaged outer tie rod threads on my passenger side. It isn't worth my time going to the dealer for it.

It probably happened during transport with a strap.

Most of the ones I have seen break - snap or bend at the treads where the inner and outter connect. Figured having both sides inner and outter cant hurt.

Pretty annoyed I bought the wrong ones. Guess I shoulda checked first!

I called some junk yards here in Tucson, I was shocked to hear no junkyards in Arizona currently have a Bronco on hand....at least none that use the shared system most of the larger ones use.

At $70 for oem or $20 for aftermarket it's worth it just to buy new.
