Big tires and aggressive usage of your JL Wrangler, JL Unlimited or JT Gladiator vehicle will cause the factory steering components to bend or break. For those who get their vehicles out in the dirt, the RockJock Currectlync Heavy Duty Tie Rod is must-have! Being proactive, so you don't get stranded in the wilderness is the smart thing to do for your family's safety.
RockJock's completely bolt-on Currectlync Tie Rod features 42mm (1.654 in.) diameter alloy steel construction, larger forged, greaseable tie rod ends, premium jam nuts and adjuster and it's painted black, so it's ready for install right out of the box!
The double adjuster feature allows for tie rod spec. adjustments after installation without having to remove either end of the tie rod from the vehicle. This easy to install component is designed for use on stock height or lifted vehicles (up to 6 in. lift), requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle
Being that this heavy-duty tie rod eliminates the factory steering stabilizer shock mounting location, RockJock offers various steering stabilizer shock relocation and high-mount kits for your stabilizer shock found here.
If you are installing ram assist steering in conjunction with this Tie Rod, see our ram assist mounting solutions in the Notes section.
