    I’ve had mine for 8 years now, aside from the misalignment spacer getting a slightly bent everything is like new.

    I’ve been torquing them to about 50 ft lbs, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything official as far as torque spec. Any input, Dave? Thanks

    8 years??! That’s awesome. What size tires are you running? I have 37s & was told before a recent tire alignment the tie rod ends need replacement (after 2.5 years).

    90 ft lbs is your torque spec on the steering knuckle bolt

    Just had my oil changed at the dealership and they noted the outer tie rods were covered in grease. I had my Coachbuilder Steering Kit installed just over 3 years ago. Attached are some pictures - Am I in need of a rebuild kit? @Coachbuilder1. I would assume if so to do both sides?

    They’re greaseable so IMO them being covered isn’t necessarily bad esp after 3 years. Replacement depends on how much play they have not how much grease is on the outside. I’d say disconnect them and see how easily you can wiggle them around.

    I have the Dirt King long travel kit installed and need to replace tie rods. I saw the option for Camburg and TC for their +2.5 kits. The Dirt King is +3 do I use their adapters and order the OEM length or do you offer one for the Dirt King kit
