Does anyone have or know the Hendricksen part number for tierods and draglink on a 2009 vision should be a 10,000lb axle...... I assume it would be less costly than buying them from Bird dealer...?

I have BB number of 00054674 for draglink at 146.50 and tierod assy is 00094365, but would like to check prices on basically aftermarket part. I can search online but thought this might get me an answer just as quick....

Thanks for any help in advance>>>>

Hey at least you can GET tie rod ends. I have a 2009 AAFE that some other school ordered then backed out of, so it ended up here. Has a weird front end and you can't get ends...gotta buy the entire bloody tie rod. $238 and 6 weeks to get it.

This might help with a hendrikson part number to go off of.

Negitive on buying ends alone, this axle you have to buy complete assembly for it too!!! the part number above for complete tube and ends was somewhere around same price you quoted maybe more toward $250 even!!

Although it wasn't as bad as the price IC gave me for a 2012, my busses get bunches of miles put on them and had a loose end on a 2012 IC ....had to buy complete because ends weren't availible, was quoted over $600 for assembly but when recieved it was only $383

Thanks,,, I looked at Hendricksen web site following link you posted, I did find axle under softek/ bluebird.... shows everything up to draglink....but not draglink...I was able to find cross for bird # to Hendricksen # for tie rod assembly... I can only assume draglink would/could vary from chassis to chassis? maybe that is why it may only be availible through bird dealer?

Isn't the complete Vision chassis Hendricksen? or are just the axles/suspention from Hendricksen and chassis is Birds design?
