I have had my SD sleeves for a couple years now. My dad ran my truck over a snow bank and bent a tie rod end and the dealer replaced the tie rod and did not install the sleeve because they said that it did not fit. Where can i get a rod that will fit the sleeve? or does SD make bigger sleeves. nw thanks

Did the dealer replace the tie rod with an aftermarket one? I have not seen an OEM tie rod any larger diameter than what the SD sleeves fit.

Im not sure, they might have used moog... Are the normal ones easy to find?

How did you bend a tierod with the sleeve on it? I thought the sleeves were the cure to all of life's problems?

i really dont believe you bent a Tie Rod with the sleeve on....maybe a Tie Rod End

if you read his post he states "Tie Rod End" i suppose there was no damage done to the sleeve. but i do beleive the moog ones are bigger, u can get oem ones at any autoparts stores. anyone know if the sleeves even come in different sizes for these aftermarket tie rods?

I remember reading that SD said the newer trucks had a slightly different rod so the sleeve had to be changed. Maybe they put the new style on on your truck.

i know they make a sleeve for a regular style tie rod and they also make ones for napa rods witch are bigger in diameter.
