Description of the problem | As i was backing out of my driving, i heard a pop, and got out to investigate, and noticed the right passenger side, tie rod end had come loose from the tie rod. It was not broken but had literally come apart. After the part was taken off, we could see that the threads on the tie rod were stripped down around the bottom of shaft. I took the part to my dealer, and he said, that is not supposed to happen. I have contacted the makers of jeep, but have not heard anything back as of yet. This is a faulty part, and could have caused a tragic accident. |
