    URO Tie Rod Ends ***Warning*** and Fix

    Hey all. THought I would share my experience.

    The grommet on the URO ends is not firm enough to hold the tie-rod boots on. I tried several clamps and ended up having to take everything apart and using the OEM ones off the the original. Much denser and also had a deeper groove for the boot to be clamped in. Works perfect now.

    I have made ECS aware of the issue and they were nice to give me a credit for all my hassles.

    Shocking!
    Google search "Uro brand parts"
    What is truly shocking is that they haven't re-branded this garbage yet.

    Anyone that uses URO suspension / steering parts is itching for a Darwin award.
