Gledewen Tie Rod End Kit for Yamaha Big Bear 400 and Bruin 350 — direct-fit replacement, complete hardware

Gledewen's Tie Rod End Kit is a complete replacement set of two tie rods, four tie rod ends, jam nuts and cotter pins engineered to restore precise steering for compatible Yamaha ATV models.

If your ATV pulls to one side, the steering feels loose, or your front tires show uneven wear, worn tie rod ends are a common cause. This factory-direct Gledewen kit supplies all hardware needed for a straightforward swap that returns proper alignment and steering responsiveness without the premium cost of OEM parts. Each kit is brand new and built to OE specifications so it fits directly and performs reliably.

How does this kit improve steering performance?

Replacing worn tie rod ends removes play from the steering linkage, helping the front end hold alignment and reducing steering wobble. The new ball joints in the kit restore tight, predictable steering feel so your ATV tracks true across varied terrain.

• Eliminates slack in the steering linkage that causes wandering or pulling.
• Reduces steering wheel shake and improves handling stability at speed.
• Prevents uneven tire wear caused by misalignment.
• Includes cotter pins and jam nuts for secure, long-lasting installation.
