Tie Rod End

[qtband]

Anyone know the correct name for this type of tie rod and where I might find one?

They are called heim joints or Rod end bearings.

No. That is NOT a heim joint, rose joint, or spherical rod end bearing. That is just a standard industrial/agricultural rod end.

The attached image depicts a Heim joint, aka rose joint, aka spherical rod end.

If you use to steer a go kart, its called death on a rod

Yes- not something you should trust your life to, once you start getting into higher speeds and hairier situations.

It's stock on the Ken-Bar Stinger 2 seat kart.
