Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most suspension upgrades go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.
What's included
- Forged outer tie rod assemblies (pair) — SAE1045 steel outer rods with heat-treated 4140 ball studs for maximum strength and bend resistance under load.
- Forged inner tie rod shafts (pair) — 4140 steel inner adjustment shafts with SAE1045 ball-joint housings for long-term durability and reliable steering response.
- Greaseable joints — Both inner and outer tie rod ends are serviceable, allowing you to maintain peak performance throughout the life of the kit.
- Boot clamps — All necessary clamps included for a secure, leak-free installation.
Important notes
- A vehicle alignment will be required after installation to restore OE steering geometry.
- This kit does not fit Ford Bronco Raptor models.
- This kit does not work with 5"–7" strut spacer lift kits. The spacers move the strut position and create contact issues with the tie rod assembly. Vehicles running a 5"–7" lift kit will need an 18" or larger wheel to ensure proper clearance from the tie rod end.
