King-G...I have tried the Titianium tie rods and they did last longer but still bent over time and are just more expensive to replace. When a rod bends it usually ovals the hole in the arm so you need to replace the arm anyway and the tie rods that come in the arms are fine. Like I said the tracks here are very unforgiving and when you crash you crash hard most track are only about 7 to 8 feet wide for lanes so thats really tight. It does teach you to drive very tight lines but a little to tight and you gonna have to replace some stuff. I just wanted to let 4Jw know that hes not the only person that breaks stuff on the car.
