1 Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2009

Vehicle was struck by a motorcycle traveling around 50mph in the drivers side front tire. This is a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The motorcycle was only a 50cc model small motorcycle. This resulted in the spindle breaking in two at the point just behind where the tie rod end connects resulting in a loss of steering on that wheel. Luckily the silverado was only traveling approximately 25 mph at the time of the accident and was safely stopped in a short distance. This is a heavy duty part and should not have broken. The tie rod should have broken first.
