Features & Product Details

STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present their most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™ Series” linkage for your Jeep JK Wrangler. They applied their 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler.

The YETI XD Tie Rod is a direct bolt-on for any JK Wrangler. The YETI XD Installs just minutes and there is no need to modify or alter Jeep.

Notes:

Works on RHD vehicles

YETI XD Tie Rods fit left-hand drive JK/JKU Wrangler models 2007-2018.

Requires a 1 5/8" diameter damper bracket that is not included. Please See YETI XD Stabilizer Bracket

A minimum of 17”wheels is recommended.

Features:

YETI XD TIE ROD ASSEMBLY:

Easy bolt-on installation.

Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

MADE IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:

30mm 2 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JK.

Cold-headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.

Induction heat-treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.

Steel on steel bearings provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.

High-quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Steer Smarts superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals, which greatly improves their ball joint reliability over competition.

Fully greaseable.

TIE ROD ENDS:

Powder coat over E-coat for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

External threads are e-coated for durability and long-term serviceability.

Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat-treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.

Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket, unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

ADJUSTER SLEEVE:

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

Adjuster clamps ensure 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 tubes are also e-coated for long-term serviceability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I use this tie rod with a lifted Jeep?

A: Absolutely. The Yeti Extreme Tie Rod is designed to work with stock-height and lifted JKs, making it an excellent upgrade for off-road builds with larger tires and aftermarket suspension systems.

Q: Will this tie rod help eliminate steering play?

A: If your steering play is due to worn-out tie rod ends or flex in the factory tie rod, upgrading to the Yeti Extreme can significantly tighten up steering feel and reduce deflection under load.

Q: Does it work with hydraulic assist or full hydro steering systems?

A: Yes, it can be used in conjunction with hydraulic assist steering setups, though clearance and bracket modifications may be necessary depending on your configuration.

Packaged well, arrived on time, install was simple enough. Really made a difference in my steering feel and adds a lot of confidence when I’m off-road. Northridge and Steer Smarts have both earned a loyal customer.
