would there be any adverse effects inverting my tie rods to counteract bump steer is there a particular reliable tie rod i can buy for this purpose .

 

I've been using T1R's inverted rods for about a year with no complaints. I get virtually zero bump steer now, short of there being a catastrophic sized pothole.

 

were can i buy them cheap and how often do you clean and lube them

I've lubed them twice since I've had them.

 

cant you just invert the stock ones wouldn't that keep it lubed an clean why by those ones?????????????

 

They have a conical seat that only works one way, unless you do some customization.

 

so i cant just flip my stock ones ive been told by another member that he did with no problems homlessem2.

 

He did some work to make his work properly when flipped.

 

what needs to be done??? am i better off with after market ???

 

Unless you feel safe using a conical drill bit and drilling precise depths into the steering arm of Macpherson struts (going too deep or off-center could ruin the entire strut shell), you'd be better off buying aftermarket replacements.

 

what brands do you recommend

 

There's only two out there that even make them. Choose one.

 

yea flipping the tie rods is the easy part but being precise with the dril is where the patience comes in

 

t1r ftw! been using them for 1.5 yrs with no issues.

 

what is the best lubricant for the after markit rods ????????and is there any way to effectively cover them to keep debris out??

 

Any multipurpose grease will work. It's not like it has to be something ridiculous.

 

hmm.. contemplating t1r also. How low until these are actually necessary though?

 

Depends on how often you are bothered by bump steer. For track purposes, it's necessary. For daily driving, it isn't. For weekend Auto-X, it's application-based.
