The Steer Smarts Yeti XD Tie Rod Assembly features impressive construction for superior strength and long-lasting functionality. The ball joints are crafted from cold-headed medium carbon alloy to provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage. Steel on steel bearings provide ultimate fatigue strength, so they'll be able to handle the constant abuse of your Jeep's aggressive build. For even more strength, the rod ends at both the adjuster and draglink feature large 1-1/4" rolled threads which are much more durable than the OE threads. Additionally, the adjuster is made from 1-3/4" high-strength 7075 aluminum to ensure the tie rod assembly won't loosen. When it comes to installation, this entire assembly is completely bolt-on and should only take just a few minutes to complete.Adjuster Tube Key Features:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why choose aluminum over steel?
A: The 7075-T6 aluminum used in this tie rod offers exceptional strength while remaining lighter than traditional steel. It’s also highly resistant to bending and fatigue, and it has a unique ability to flex slightly under impact without permanent deformation—ideal for rock crawling and trail abuse.
Q: Is this a direct replacement for the factory tie rod?A: Yes. It is a bolt-on replacement for the factory JK tie rod. No cutting or welding is required. It also works with factory or aftermarket JK knuckles that retain OEM-style tie rod ends.
