This BD 1032125 tie rod upgrade is a great choice for 2001 - 2010 GM vehicles. It fits various models like the 2500 LB7, LLY, LBZ, & LMM with 6.6L Duramax, 3500 LMM with 6.6L Duramax, 1500 HD with 6.0L, and more. These tie rods are 1.5 times thicker than OEM ones, which reduces flex. They also have larger inner ball joints that reduce wear. Tests show they can handle over double the force of OEM rods. The greaseable ball joints come with sintered bearings for better load - holding and a longer lifespan. It's a far better solution than tie rod sleeves. Part Number: 1032125. Features include a 1.5x larger tie rod shaft and inner ball joint compared to OEM, and larger greaseable ball joints for long - term use. Note that 2001 - 2010 models need longer sway bar end links (sold separately).

Using this tie rod upgrade is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is one of the compatible models mentioned. If you have a 2001 - 2010 model, remember to purchase the longer sway bar end links separately and install them as well. When installing the tie rod, follow the standard installation procedures for tie rods on your vehicle. During normal use, you'll notice better handling because of the reduced flex and wear. To keep it in good condition, regularly grease the ball joints as recommended. This will help maintain the load - holding ability and extend the life of the tie rod. Check for any signs of damage or excessive wear periodically. If you notice anything unusual, it's best to have it inspected by a professional.
