The tie rod connectors, are they being broken because of the amount of stress that a larger wheel and tire combo places on them, or are they trying to use the power steering pump to gain leverage? I am asking because I don't want to be out in the middle or nowhere and snap one.
The wrong offset wheels will definetely stress your steering components more, other parts to watch are your centerlink and idler arm. I switched to the Moog idler arm which is a stronger design than the stock one and added a steering stabilizer...and of course I run the EOE HD tie rod adjusters as well.
In the past month I have heard of close to 10 failures of the Nissan tie rod adjusters and I am beginning to think metal fatigue is also playing a part, I will try and get some more info from new customers on how much wheeling they have done, tire/rim combinations and how many miles overall and see if I can make any correlation between things.
