YETI XD™ Pro-Series 2½-ton Aluminum Tie Rod - JK/JKU

 by Steer Smarts Part number: 78094001

 

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

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. 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 hardenability 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:

  • Easy bolt-on installation.
  • Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.
  • Tie Rod adjuster is manufactured from large 1-3/4" diameter solid high strength 7075 Aluminum for maximum strength.
  • Pro-Series 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.
  • Hard coated for long term serviceability and durability.

TORQUE SPECS:

  • Clamps need to be torqued to 80-85 ft lbs and should be oriented so that they do not interfere with anything else (generally facing forward or down). Clamp torque needs to be checked at 500 miles and then again at 2000 miles. After that, for every oil change, the torque specs should be checked, as well as after any hard wheeling/off-roading. 

    * Tie Rod fits all left-hand drive JK Wrangler models 2007 to 2017, including Rubicon, and requires a 1-3/4" diameter damper bracket that is not included. Check out the YETI XD Damper Bracket.

    Note: A minimum of 17” wheels is recommended.

    Great Product

    This by far a more robust tie rod compared to the factory one. I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking forward to putting it through some tough testing in the near future. Very well built.

    Top notch quality and machining!

    Purchased the yeti pro Aluminum tie rod assembly for my 2.5” lifted ‘08 Jk and talk about everything one could ever want. It’s got the beef, the best QUALITY I have seen, The threading is perfect and I love the clamping over a jam nut especially when you’re daily driving it. The packaging was so good that it is impossible too receive damaged products. I am very pleased with my purchase and you can feel a big difference in the steering wheel . I believe this company is making the very best steering components there are for both on-road and off-road and if you want quality built parts made in America part look no farther than SteerSmarts and you cannot go wrong.

    Great Customer Service and High Quality Parts

    I bought the Yedi XD aluminum Tie Rod and Yedi XD Drag Link (bottom mount) for my JK. (review posted under both products)

    They're not installed yet (too cold out), but just picking them up you can tell these are seriously well built parts. Both the quality and the beefiness are impressive. Everything was solidly packed in very heavy corrugated cardboard (all recyclable).

    SteerSmarts customer service is awesome. They were super helpful answering all my questions and found the best solution to get my order to a very rural area in Canada. They made the whole thing simple, and I had an excellent experience dealing with them.
