I think it really depends on your dealer.
tie rod

Mine did not. I bought aftermarket heavier tie rods after that! my machine was 2 weeks old.
If you replace them go with asr. I love mine

ya i got 25 hours on mine and bent mine last ride. had to bend back on the trail
Tie rod is an easier and cheaper fix than the steering shaft
+1 on the dealer, up to them & Can Am, if it was trail related then most places won't cover it under the warranty

Yep they won't cover it......... paid and picked it up today all fixed.
I have a set from All BAlls through Royal distributing. I carry a set with me for field failures. Fairly easy to change.
If the factory tie rod is bent why would anyone wanna put a factory one back on it:p ASR all the way 150$ canadian

Because the front end, like any thing else needs a weak point and a tie rod is the easiest/cheapest part on the front end to replace. If you strengthen the tire rods up without improving upon anything else, you end up putting more stress on parts like the ball joints and steering stem in situations where the tie rods should be the break point.

I'd agree with jmm24 but canam seam to have really weak tie rods. I'd get stronger tie rods if mine bent, stock have many issues and problems.
tie rods

I have ASR and have had them for about a year. the factory tie rods are flimsy!
You can pick up the HD asr ones on eBay for around 100$ Canadian

I would rather replace a few tie rods than something else major, if they bend again I may rethink that but for now I'm good, thanks for all the good advice
