Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: What is the Griffin Steering Attenuator, and what does it do?

A: The Griffin Attenuator is a patented energy-absorbing unit built into the drag link to reduce harsh steering feedback, vibration, and road shock. It greatly improves on-road comfort and steering stability, especially on Jeeps with large tires or heavier wheels.

Q: Does this kit require drilling the knuckle?

A: No. The included tapered insert allows you to mount the drag link on top of the factory passenger-side knuckle without drilling or permanent modifications.

Q: What lift height is this drag link compatible with?

A: Designed for JKs with 3" to 6+ inches of lift. A raised front track bar bracket is required to keep the drag link and track bar parallel and prevent bump steer.

Q: Is this drag link adjustable?

A: Yes. The YETI XD drag link features an opposing-thread adjustment sleeve, allowing for on-vehicle steering wheel centering and toe correction after installation.
