With due appology to whomwever I plagiarized this picture from, please help me with the name and partnumber of the red bar (left one, looking from rear to front) that goes from the steering to the tire (tierod?) for a 710. I bent mine yesterday delivering humanitarian help to the south coast (your west coast) of Guatemala. Drove 600k for what is ususally is a 200k drive to gain access, sat 13 hours almost continuosly in the vehicle.

Go figure, on friday it rained an inch of black sand from the Pacaya vulcanoe, and from Saturday on we were hammered with rain from tropical storm Aagatha. Finally sun out today. Never a dull moment.

I think it is called track rod in the catalogue...try this part number in SAV search box 7102435011/

better yet try this

TIE ROD COMPLETE LH OR RH 7102433300/ 05-05-05 292.45

TRACK ROD COMPLETE 7102433300U 05-05-05 95.00

looks like a complete assembly used one for 95$

Karl,

I bent mine on a tree last year. I straightened the bent center section using a hydraulic tubing bender. (It seemed to keep the tube from collapsing under pressure.)

I'm sure a new one would be better. But I realligned the front wheels and it seems to be working fine, at least at the speeds I drive.

Thanks both, and I will go both ways. Just ordered the used part suggested by blackstack to keep in the vehicle, but will try to straighten it as suggested by undysworld and reuse if possible. Thanks for your help!
