Big tires and gnarly trails put extra strain on your Wrangler’s steering linkage. Replace your loose and worn-out tie rod ends, or upgrade to heavy-duty ones, with the unmatched selection of trusted manufacturers here at Summit Racing Equipment!
Steering Summary
Vehicles like trucks, SUVs, and Jeep Wranglers use a steering gear box instead of the rack-and-pinion systems found in passenger cars.
Your rotational input on the steering wheel goes through the steering gear box, and is then converted into lateral movement by the pitman arm.
The drag link (also called the center link) connects the pitman arm to the steering knuckle...
Big tires and gnarly trails put extra strain on your Wrangler’s steering linkage. Replace your loose and worn-out tie rod ends, or upgrade to heavy-duty ones, with the unmatched selection of trusted manufacturers here at Summit Racing Equipment!
Steering Summary
Vehicles like trucks, SUVs, and Jeep Wranglers use a steering gear box instead of the rack-and-pinion systems found in passenger cars.
Your rotational input on the steering wheel goes through the steering gear box, and is then converted into lateral movement by the pitman arm.
The drag link (also called the center link) connects the pitman arm to the steering knuckle on the inside front of the passenger-side wheel.
The tie rod connects the steering knuckles of the front wheels together, so when one turns, the other moves with it.
Tie rod ends are threaded into either end of the tie rod, so they can be adjusted to maintain alignment. They attach to the steering knuckles with ball joints, so they can flex as the suspension articulates. The ball joints are covered by a rubber boot to keep grease in and dirt out.
Too Much Play
Tie rod ends can get damaged or wear out over time, especially if they see a lot of off-road action. The ball joint can get loose, creating play in the linkage. This can result in clunking sounds, delayed steering response, and bump steer, and may also contribute to the dreaded “death wobble.” If the damage is isolated to the tie rod end, it can be unthreaded and replaced, saving you time and money.
Time For An Upgrade
If you’ve performed a mild lift on your JK or JL for cosmetic purposes, or stepped up to 35-inch or 37-inch tires, you’re probably okay retaining your stock steering linkage. As the trails get wilder, the lifts go higher, and the tires get beefier, you’ll want to upgrade to a heavy-duty steering linkage, including the tie rod ends.
Heavy-duty tie rod ends are built to withstand the extra forces exerted by your heavier components, as well as abuse from the terrain.
Check The Fit
As with any parts you buy for your Jeep Wrangler, make sure you know your model year and generation (YJ, TJ, JK, or JL). For tie rod ends, you’ll also need to know which side of the vehicle they’re on (driver or passenger).
