Premium Steering Upgrade for Off-Roading

If you're looking to further improve your off-road ready Jeep's performance, pick up the Steer Smarts Yeti XD Tie Rod Assembly today. Designed with proper clearance, this long tie rod assembly works in conjunction with your vehicle's upgraded chassis components for a perfect fit and consistent performance. Moreover, the included 30mm, 1 1/2 ton ball joints are the biggest and strongest available for the JK, so you won't have to worry about holding back on your favorite trails. Steer Smarts Reverse Pin technology prevents the linkage from flopping or rocking when you're testing the limits in your off-road warrior. This reverse pin was built right inside the socket, making for a superior design compared to weaker add-on supports seen on competitor's tie rods.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Installation Info

The Steer Smarts Yeti XD Tie Rod Assembly features impressive construction for superior strength and long-lasting functionality. The ball joints are crafted from cold-headed medium carbon alloy to provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage. Steel on steel bearings provide ultimate fatigue strength, so they'll be able to handle the constant abuse of your Jeep's aggressive build. For even more strength, the rod ends at both the adjuster and draglink feature large 1-1/4" rolled threads which are much more durable than the OE threads. Additionally, the adjuster is made from 1/4" thick wall 4130 DOM steel tubing to ensure the tie rod assembly won't loosen. When it comes to installation, this entire assembly is completely bolt-on and should only take just a few minutes to complete.

Adjuster Tube Key Features:

Tie Rod adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.

Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.

Designed with right hand and left hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.

Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability.

Note: A minimum of 17” wheels is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How is this different from the standard YETI XD tie rod?

A: The long version is wider overall to match factory Rubicon- and Mojave-width axles. Functionally, it’s the same heavy-duty construction as the standard tie rod, but the length is specific to these wider models.

Q: Is the tie rod adjustable?

A: Yes. It features a reverse-threaded adjuster sleeve for on-vehicle toe alignment adjustments, making setup and alignment simple after installation.

Q: Is this a bolt-on upgrade?

A: Yes. It bolts directly to the factory knuckles and steering components with no cutting, drilling, or modifications required.

Q: Does it work with the factory steering stabilizer?

A: Yes. It includes a bolt-on stabilizer bracket compatible with the factory stabilizer or most aftermarket units. It also works with high-clearance or relocation brackets.

Helped firm up the front end, the steering feels noticeably more planted over rough roads 3 years ago

5out of 5stars

Alohn2000
I initially installed the Dynatrac Endurosport lift with the Steersmarts track bar and steering box/selector shaft brace. After having 35" Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws installed, the front end felt a little "sloppy" over rough roads. I figured I was feeling the flex in the smaller factory tie rods and drag link, and so I went ahead and installed this package along with the Steersmarts drag link to just tighten the front end up as much as possible. It worked perfectly. The steering feels tighter, and much more planted over rough roads and washboard sections. With all the Steersmarts parts up front, it is tight getting the steering stabilizer and adjustment clamps in just the right position so everything clears when turned at full lock both directions, as well as flexed, but it is possible. I also really like having the stabilizer up top above the tie rod now and now hanging low like the factory setup. I hadn't ever hit it on anything before, but this weekend I had to clear a moderate boulder on the trail, and the factory setup would have been dang close.
