It sounded like a good idea to me too! But, due to the variety of tie-rod ends (length, threaded length, thread pitch, thread size...) It doesn't look like it's something I will be offering. The stock tie-rod ends would need to be trimmed too much, and the rack would also need to be trimmed too much (the stock tie-rod ends are not too spendy, but try getting a warranty on a rack that has been cut up). Looks like heims it is... or you can upgrade to the "squeaky" ones!
