D2, recently bent track rod in a rock encounter. Replaced it with the beautiful RTE rod. Now, I don't PLAN on repeating the incident, but, if it happens again, it looks like the rod will no longer be the 'weak link'. Is there a chance that, due to the beefiness of the RTE rod and the much smaller diameter of the tie rod end, that one or both of the tie rod ends will be damaged, bent, or broken, instead of the rod just being bent (and the vehicle still drivable)?
Might I want to add a spare tie rod end to my spare kit? Thanks for your opinions...
