What is Corner Travel Index?
Since 2014 MetalCloak has tested thousands and thousands of rigs at events all across the county collecting specs on the build and cataloging the results. The data collected allows us to make our own products better.
FMVSS 126 Compliant
MetalCloak not only has the best off road flex, but we are also Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 certified and compliant. No other company can match our on- and off-road performance.
THE TECH
Chromoly Steel For Added Strength
Making a Tie Rod is easy, but we don't do easy; we chose Normalized 4130 Chromoly 1.625”OD .375” wall tube that can take a beating without breaking (97,200 pound per square inch).
Dog Leg Tie Rod Ends
Anti Flop Feature - Precision range of movement
Maximum Tire/Wheel Clearance - Correct steering radius
Massive 1-Ton Rod Ends - Provides additional strength
Over-sized 1 inch threads- More material at critical area
Over-Sized, Forged, & Heat Treated Housing - Exclusive
Anti Flop Feature
Full side to side range of motion ensures bind free steering when pushing the extremes of your Jeeps travel and articulation, while a limited "front to back" range of movement is built into the rod-end and eliminates the possibility of the offset to allow the tie-rod to "flop".
