I am worried that my RTE tie rod wont fit (it is 1 1/4" diameter) Also, do you have to remove a ball joint to slide the tie rod through, or can you fit the tie rod end through?   Keith Kreutzer (Revor) Member Username: Revor Post Number: 154 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 11:27 pm:    You're gonna be mailing me again aren't you?

Took my QT off to clean out the area and I can see that there has been contact at some point between the two but under what conditions I don't know. Doesn't seem to be a regular issue. Hope you are going to Coal Creek in a couple of weeks. You can see my new toy.

Whats the new toy? Did you have to remove a ball joint from the tie rod to install the QT diff guard?   Scott MacGregor (Smacgregor) New Member Username: Smacgregor Post Number: 2 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 - 06:34 pm:    You should be able to leave the tie rod intact and work around it. Mine where a bitch to fit, front and rear, but I got them on. I'll be splitting time now between the truck and my new motorcycle. BMW F650 Dakar. It is something that can bring the fun back to the local trails. Now I don't have to drive 4 hours to have a good time off road. Coal Creek has a lot of runs that will be good for the bike.   Ron Ward (Ronward) Senior Member Username: Ronward Post Number: 295 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 - 08:18 pm:    Coal Creek?
