Tie rod upgrade suggestions
Ok, I am listening to you guys and saving up for a better tie rod.
Unfortunately I am not able to return that bilstein Steering Stabilizer, so I am trying to sell it for $55 on Facebook and Craigslist anyway, after reading up a little, I think a tie rod upgrade will be a great addition. I have read mixed reviews all over the boards on brands. Can you guys chime in with experience and suggestions please? 4 door 2007 jk Sahara will have the 2” Mopar lift, and 35x12.50r18 Nitto Mud Grapplers. |
Synergy steering components have been very popular for many years, and definitely worth a look. Steersmart/Yeti is a newer option that is getting some good feedback for the draglink (though I don't recall seeing any posts on their tie rod). And I saw that MetalCloak is making one now, the anti-flop sounds interesting.

Also looking at ruff stuff and rubicon express The Rough Country HD looks decent, though I have read a ton of mixed reviews about the companies other products. |
I’m also only seeing a 1 3/8” version from synergy.
And the rubicon express is 1 5/8” does the size necessarily matter () when upgrading the tie rod? |
Steersmarts is beefy.

Yeah, it’s showing 1 5/8” also. Some have said I don’t need to upgrade the draglink. I already have a new hd rubicon express track bar. So, I am considering the steersmart to finish it off good. |
here ya go -

I looked at Synergy but I found a lot of complaints that the rubber boots rip and lose the grease and then the joint wears out to fast. I got the Teraflex draglink and tie rod. Has been on the jeep for a year and no issues at all.
