In this video I replace the original tie rods on my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4 GMT800. The factory tie rods weren't necessarily bad but with 22 years and 126k miles I figured it was time for a refresh.
In my research I came upon these Rugged Duty units from Dorman and was pleasantly surprised with the many glowing reviews. With these being more of a heavy duty line, looking great and priced right, I was sold.
There were no issue installing and after driving the vehicle everything seems to be performing excellent.
Also, in this video, I replaced the factory original sway bar end links with the same Rugged Duty line from Dorman and again install was a breeze and they look great.
To round it all out I decided to do a string alignment just to be able to get to the alignment shop and not ruin my tires on the drive. I don't know if it was a fluke but that alignment turned out great! It was easy to do, though it took a while, and the truck drives perfectly straight with a centered steering wheel. I may still take it to a professional to get it checked but I was certainly surprised with how well it turned out.
