This is for those of you that are taking your Jeep off-road.
You have big tires, especially those of you that are going after the rocks and are worried
about bending your factory tie rod.
Whether you've already damaged your factory tie rod or you're just looking to upgrade
so you have the peace of mind to know that you're not going to damage your tie rod, going
with this one from Teraflex is going to be a great idea.
This thing is roughly 200 times stronger than the factory tie rod.
The tie rod ends themselves are also very, very beefy and also adjustable.
This is very much like a factory or most other aftermarket tie rods because it's going to
have one right-hand thread and one left-hand thread, which is going to make this very easy
to adjust, even after it's installed on your Jeep and overall, you're just going to get
a ton of strength.
And this is going to be similarly priced to a lot of the other tie rods on the market
so even though you're getting a lot of strength, you're getting adjustability, you're getting
something that's easy to install, you're not having to pay a ton more for it.
This is going to be comparably priced to a lot of the other tie rods and I definitely
like the features that this one has.
This tie rod itself is going to be 1.6 inches to the outer diameter and it's made of a 4140
chrome moly steel, which of course is a very strong steel alloy.
The tie rod ends themselves have a 1045 carbon steel ball and stud, which again, it's just
all about strength with this tie rod.
This is going to be very, very beefy.
These tie rod ends are also going to be re-buildable and adjustable just like the Teraflex ball
joints are, so this could be the last tie rod that you'll ever need to buy for your
Jeep.
If you do end up wearing something out, you can just rebuild it or adjust those tie rod
ends and get rid of any slop that you might end up having.
Now, because these tie rod ends are going to be bigger than the factory ones, you are
going to need at least a 17-inch factory wheel to clear them, or an aftermarket wheel that's
roughly 17 inches as well.
Of course, backspacing will affect your clearance a little bit also, but you are going to need
to make sure that you have enough room to clear these larger tie rod ends.
As I mentioned before, Teraflex says that this is roughly 200 times stronger than that
factory tie rod, and when you actually take this thing out of the box, look at it and
feel it.
I absolutely believe them.
This thing is very, very beefy.
Teraflex is also going to include a new steering stabilizer bracket that's going to be necessary
to install that steering stabilizer on the larger tie rod.
This is going to be a very simple, one out of three wrench installation that shouldn't
take you more than an hour to complete.
The first step is of course moving that factory tie rod, which you'll do by removing the cotter
pins from the castle nuts.
Loosen up the castle nut, but leave the nut in place.
And finally, strike the steering knuckle perpendicular to the tie rod end on your tie rod to loosen
that up.
That's going to be a taper fit.
If you try and drive down on the top of the castle nut, you can flare the end of the tie
rod end, making it much more difficult to get out of the knuckle.
You can break or bend things.
Go ahead and strike the steering knuckle perpendicular to that tie rod end.
That's going to be the best way to pop that tapered joint out.
Once you have everything loosened up, completely remove the castle nuts and remove the tie
rod.
Once you have the tie rod out, you can assemble your new tie rod and measure end-to-end to
the center of the tie rod and studs, and get the length as close as you possibly can.
That's going to ensure that your toe is roughly similar to what the toe is currently set at
with your factory tie rod.
Once you have everything adjusted, go ahead and tighten down the jam nuts and install
the new tie rod into your steering knuckles using the castle nuts and cotter pins that
are included.
Once you're finished with that, you can grease this and you're good to go.
Now, in case you do need to adjust this at a later date, I would recommend using some
anti-seize on the threads, but a jam nut is not effective if the jam nut has anti-seize
underneath it.
It's tempting to just put anti-seize all over the threads to ensure that everything's going
to be able to move down the line, but the jam nut is going to hold so be careful where
you put the anti-seize.
I would recommend using it, but not under the jam nut.
This tie rod is going to run you around $420, and that's more or less the going rate for
an aftermarket tie rod that is going to be something that's heavy duty.
Now, I like this one in particular because of the tie rod ends that are included with
this tie rod.
They're going to be adjustable and they're going to be rebuildable, which is not something
that a lot of the other companies have.
So I would recommend going with this one if you want something that you're going to have
to only buy once and then be able to mess with, rebuild, if it ever were to wear out
on you.
