YETI XD™ TOP MOUNT 1½-TON DRAG LINK (HIGH-STEER OR DRILLED-OUT OE KNUCKLE)
STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™ Series” linkage for your Jeep JK Wrangler. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler. The YETI XD Top Mount Draglink for a high steer or drilled-out stock knuckle was designed to be a complete bolt-on for JK's that have already been modified for a flipped draglink. The YETI XD Top Mount installs in just minutes and bolts to a sleeved factory knuckle or High Steer knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.
Fits the following applications:
Jeep JK/JKU '07-'18
Part #: 78066001
Finish: Black Powdercoat
Features:
Easy bolt-on installation

MADE IN THE USA
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
Stock JK tapered stud that bolts to either a drilled and sleeved factory knuckle or a High Steer Knuckle
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 linkages
ADJUSTER TUBE:
Draglink 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. 16" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed
* Draglink fits all left hand drive JK Wrangler models 2007 to 2017 including Rubicon and Unlimited
