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 pounds 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
Oversized 1" Threads - More material at critical area
Oversized, Forged, & Heat-Treated Housing - Exclusive
Anti-Flop Feature
This specially designed rod end has been engineered just for the JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator steering.
Full side-to-side range of motion ensures bind-free steering when pushing the extremes of your Jeep's 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".
