wanted: steering rod for 79 trailfire 340

Post by snowkat79 »

Putting out a "feeler" I am having trouble getting this part bent back, and wonder if someone has a used one that is straight.

Need a tie rod for a 1979 Trailfire 340. its the front most steering rod on the sled, mine is bent in the shape of a boomerang! I have no idea how it got that way; it was like that when I bought the sled. I believe the rod# is M68010 or #7 in the diagram. thanks!!!!

I was going to "borrow" the part off of my 80 Liquifire, but that rod is longer than the one on the Trailfire.....
