Heavy-Duty Construction & Installation Info

The Steer Smarts Yeti Top Mount Draglink 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 assembly won't loosen. When it comes to installation, this entire assembly is completely bolt-on and features a "No Drill" Reverse Taper Mount, and should only take about a few minutes to complete.

 

Vehicle Fitment: Draglink fits all left hand drive JK Wrangler models 2007 to 2018 including Rubicon and Unlimited.

 

Note: A minimum of 17”wheels is recommended. 16" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: What is the Steer Smarts YETI XD No-Drill Top Mount Draglink?

A: It’s a heavy-duty drag link upgrade for the Jeep JK that mounts to the top of the passenger-side knuckle without requiring you to drill out the steering arm. It improves steering geometry, reduces bump steer, and increases durability—all without permanent modification to factory components.

Q: What lift height is this drag link designed for?

A: This drag link is intended for use on JKs with 3.5 to 6+ inches of lift. A raised front track bar bracket is required to maintain correct steering geometry and prevent bump steer.

Q: Is this a direct bolt-on upgrade?

A: Yes. The included tapered insert fits into the factory drag link mount on the knuckle, making this a true bolt-on solution for high-steer upgrades—no permanent modification needed.

Q: Will this work with the factory track bar?

A: No. A raised front track bar bracket is required to match the geometry of the top-mount drag link. Without it, your drag link and track bar won’t be in the same plane, which can lead to severe bump steer.

Q: Is this drag link adjustable while on the vehicle?

A: Yes. It features an adjustable sleeve with opposing threads, allowing you to fine-tune toe alignment and steering wheel position without removing the bar.

Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Q: What’s the benefit of running a top mount drag link?

A: Mounting the drag link on top of the knuckle flattens the steering angles, helping to reduce bump steer and improve handling on lifted setups. It also offers improved tie rod and steering stabilizer clearance for off-road use.

Q: Is this a complete drag link assembly?

A: Yes. It includes the full drag link bar with forged ends, premium greasable joints, and adjustment sleeve for easy toe alignment and centering the steering wheel.

Q: Is this drag link adjustable while installed?

A: Yes. It features adjustable ends with opposing threads and a central adjustment sleeve, allowing for on-vehicle fine-tuning of steering wheel alignment.

Q: Can I install this drag link with a factory track bar?

A: It’s not recommended. A raised track bar bracket is required to keep the drag link and track bar in the same plane, which is critical to avoiding bump steer.
