i took a corner pulled the ebrake slid da car, countersteered caught the wheel kept the slide untill my nose jus popped into the air and slammed back down hard. heard something snap then the car started jerking uncontrollably on along the passenger side. thought it was my axle and freaked out but then stopped the car took a look and powersteering fluid was dripping from the rod.

My questions is what caused my car to pop up and slam down like during the slide and where can i get some stronger Tie Rods? Im looking into getting aftermarket tie rods. Any suggestions on which ones to get so this wont happen agian? looking for something strong durable and of great quality and not too expensive!

Thanx again!!
