Default Bent evo flipped draglink.. OPTIONS???

I know it's just a right side drive draglink, but I'm wondering what draglink I can replace it with? Is synergy the only brand? What would bet best best. I don't need anything overbuilt, just something a little more stout.

Lots go synergy, but theres alot better than that evo shit one. They should have labeled it as an oem part and kept there name off it. I watched one bend on stock tires from a minimal hit. I made my own but i run heims.

What's the benefit to running heims over a tie rod style joint? I think mine bent literally by bumping a dirt wall with the tire slightly turned. So it basically turned my tire whichever way I had it turned but more of course. I had to straighten the wheel out to get back on top of the drop and I'm assuming that's when it happened. I need something that's not gonna bend. Pm me if you can save me some money hahahah

The EVO is just a right hand drive Mopar draglink. Get a Synergy with 2 greasable long lasting 1 ton rate tres and call it a day.

Not much benefit to a heim. I guess misalignment in long travel scenarios. And also in my scenario i have tons of spare ones. I wouldnt do what i did for yours even though its dirt cheap, youd have to drill pitman arm and knuckle possibly.

Teraflex also makes a heavy duty draglink, same quality as Synergy.
