hey guys i don't know if this has happened to anyone else but at the last event at the end of the race i turned in to turn 4 i believe and had lost steering. the steering was checked before the weekend and all was good. looks like the tie rod inner section separated from itself they were oem parts replaced 3 seasons ago but both joints are tight as new. i plan on replacing both and tig welding a bead around this failure point but just a heads up to check out your tie rods.
