Steer Smarts Yeti XD No Drill Top Mount Draglink w/Griffin XD Attenuator - Black Bellow |78071001-Fits Jeep Wrangler JK

STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™” Series linkage equipped with our GRIFFIN XD™ Attenuator. They applied their 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler.

 

The YETI XD "No Drill" Top Mount Draglink is a complete bolt-on for high steer applications and features our Patent Pending REVERSE TAPER MOUNT design. The YETI XD "No Drill" is the quickest and easiest draglink flip on the market. Installation takes just minutes and there is no need to modify or alter your stock knuckle. This draglink bolts to the factory tapered knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.

 

NOTES

A minimum lift height of 3-3.5" (and correct bump stop) is required for a top mount drag link. Minimum height requirements will vary by lift manufacturer. The Track Bar Relocation Bracket is necessary when flipping your drag link to maintain proper parallel geometry track bar and drag link.

Draglink fits all left-hand drive JK Wrangler models including Rubicon and Unlimited.

A minimum of 17”wheels is recommended. 16" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed.

Jeeps equipped with Rubicon/Anniversary/Front Factory Skid plates will need to slightly modify skid plate for clearance with GriffinXD

 

Features:

 

YETI XD DRAGLINK WITH GRIFFIN XD ASSEMBLY:

Easy bolt-on installation.

Griffin XD Attenuator for the highest level of on-road and off-road stability and performance.

Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

Patent Pending "No Drill" Reverse Taper Mount makes for a quick and easy installation without the need of drilling or altering your knuckle.

MADE IN THE USA

 

BALL JOINTS:

30mm 2 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JK.

Cold headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.

Induction heat treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.

Steel on steel bearings provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.

High quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.

Fully greaseable.

 

DRAGLINK ENDS:

Powder coat over E-coat for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

External threads are e-coated for durability and long-term serviceability.

Forged from medium carbon high harden-ability steel and heat treated for greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.

Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

 

GRIFFIN XD ATTENUATOR:

Reduces harsh and negative feedback to your steering wheel.

Draglink adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.

Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.

Designed with right hand and left-hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.

E-coated for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability

Designed for the proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

Patented Design.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: What is the Griffin Steering Attenuator and why is it beneficial?

A: The Griffin Attenuator reduces bump steer, vibration, and harsh steering feedback. It improves on-road ride quality, steering stability, and driver comfort—especially important for lifted Jeeps running larger tires.

Q: Does this draglink require drilling?

A: No. This version uses a no-drill tapered insert that installs into the factory passenger knuckle, allowing for top-mount installation without modifying or enlarging the hole.

Q: What lift height is this draglink designed for?

A: Designed for 3.5 to 6+ inches of lift. It must be used with a raised front track bar bracket to keep the draglink and track bar in the same plane and prevent bump steer.

Q: Will this help reduce bump steer?

A: Yes. The top-mount design flattens draglink geometry on lifted Jeeps, which, paired with a raised track bar bracket, helps eliminate bump steer and improve handling.
