the part that bent was at the end where the tie rod connects, not at the weld. its pretty thick steel and i got it pretty straight with a hammer. been a few days and powersports as well as supermach havent responded. i check it everytime he rides. and ive beat on it doin donuts in the dirt. tie rod is good and steering is ok. hopefully i didnt compromise the weld. i dont think i did. not like i let my 10 year old do 30 down main roads or any pavement. we ride the tracks and trails we made in the fields by my work. eventually hes gonna wanna speed up a little on the only street hes allowed on which is a quiet deadend where i work. next year if its still running ill get a whole new setup for the front end. new spindles,hubs and drums. ` if he was 14 and doing 35 on streets i would do that now. thanks for the input. much appreciated.
