Rubicon Express HD tie rod
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jk-...a2acd7162.jpeg Has anyone seen this issue before. The RE 2601 HD tire rod taper ends of the ball joint passes through the knuckle by about 1/8”. - 3/16” so the nut will not reach the knuckle to hold it tight. This is on both sides. At first I thought my knuckle was worn but both sides seem unlikely and the old tie rod fit tight. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Dave |
I don't have experience with the RE but it looks like some grade 8 washers are in order.
|
That’s what I was thinking also. I’m excited just never seen this. Thanks for the reply. |
Well not excited. �� I don’t know where that came from.
|
eh... I think I'd be sending that photo to whomever you purchased the tie rod from.
|
I watched a YouTube video were JK gear and gadgets put a 1 ton tie rods in his Jeep and had to stack washers on it. |
That’s what they are telling me you have to do with the RE and the JK. |
Yeah I bought that one too and have the same thing going on. I just weld a few washers together and tightened the nut on them.
|
Thanks i’m Doing the same. |
So this might sound dumb but when I ordered mine, I called them to make sure the install was straight forward and that I didn't need to ream the taper up to 1-ton. They told me the ends were 1-ton and I needed to ream up. My dumbass when I got it didn't test fit it first and reamed both knuckles up a bit. So the ends actually went through even more when I test fitted it. Eff. I just had to add more washers but, I was kind of pissed that RE didn't know their own product.
