YETI XD™ BOTTOM MOUNT 1½-TON DRAG LINK WITH GRIFFIN XD™ ATTENUATOR
STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™" Series linkage equipped with our GRIFFIN XD™ Attenuator. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler. The YETI XD Bottom Mount Draglink is a complete bolt-on draglink. The YETI XD bottom mount installs in just minutes and bolts to the factory tapered knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.

BALL JOINTS:
30mm 1 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. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition
Fully greaseable
DRAGLINK 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 harden-ability steel and heat treated for greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength
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 our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkage

E-coated for a long lasting appearance under harsh conditions
Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability
Designed for the proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences
Patented Design
