Do most auto parts stores stock those? Are the grease able?

 

awe man, had i known you had the part number, i might have gone with them instead

i think napa has them but you can also buy them on amazon. well, now that you have a part number anyway

 

You can get them from your local Carquest...but your BEST bet is www.RockAuto.com (I got both ends for under $100 bones if I remember correctly). I don't know if I get dinged for mentioning the website, so hurry up and cop the link before it gets deleted!


They are indeed greasable with a Zerk fitting on each rod end. The ONLY thing you have to watch out for is if you're running a 16" or smaller wheel and you use stick on wheel weights to balance the inside rim. Watch for clearance between the Zerk fitting and the wheel. If you're running a 17" or larger wheel, don't even trip.

Yeah I just found them online.

WOL,

As far as setting it up can I measure it from end to end and set it to the same size as the factory one was or is it bent different?

Also does it come will larger ubolts for the SS and will those fit the RC bracket?

 

Come on Eddie! You know I got the mad skills when it comes to tracking auto parts. I can find virtually anything...and you KNOW THIS, PIMP!!!

from rockkrawler website
* Requires the purchase of two Moog outer tie rod ends specified in the directions from your local auto parts store. We do this so you will easily be able to service your steering tie rod ends over the life of your Jeep.

its also in the directions that come with tie rod but you do or did have me wondering in your show n tell post because you say its version 2

edit: rockauto for the ends, $56 each

 

yeah, for whatever it's worth, i just checked my old amazon receipt and see that i did order the correct moogs but when i got them, they were too small. i called up RK and was reminded that i did in fact get version 2 tie rod and that draglink tre's was needed. anyway, that's what i ultimately had to get and the part number russ posted are what is needed with the version 1 tie rod.

 

So there are no grease ables for the version 2? What is the diff between version 1 and 2?

 

oh man now they got me curious as to why they made it work for different ends, kinda makes more sense to use the moogs, they are greasable and carried in auto part stores everywhere. Their drag link uses a left and right version of those moogs. Does that factory drag also have 2 different ends? I can see reason for changing if it made all 4 the same, just have to carry one spare, but still greaseable is so much better as long as you grease regularly of course. Eddie do you know if their drag link is also changed?

According to their website though it still says you need moog tie rod ends

 

Oh that SUCKS! I didn't know RK released a Gen 2 Tie Rod! I must have gotten one of the first release ones. I have NO CLUE what tie rods you need for the 2nd version.
