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 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.

Features:
Easy bolt-on installation
Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences
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
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

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 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:
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 are recommended.

* Tie Rod fits all left hand drive JK Wrangler models 2007 to 2017 including Rubicon and requires a 1 5/8" diameter damper bracket that is not included.
