Description & Fitment

TeraFlex's HD Chromoly Tie Rod Kit replaces the factory tie rod on a 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK or JK Unlimited with a Dana 30/44 front axle and up to 6" of lift. The 1-5/8" OD tie rod is heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel that TeraFlex rates at more than 200% stronger than stock, with a JK-specific forged housing. Its end joints use TeraFlex ball joint construction with adjustable preload, and rotation is limited to 14 degrees to reduce tie rod roll. A steering stabilizer relocation bracket for the 1-5/8" tie rod is included and clears factory 17" wheels.

About TeraFlex

TERAFLEX.

TeraFlex describes itself as a Jeep company at heart, started and staffed by people who drive them. It designs, engineers and builds suspension systems, shocks, axles and performance parts, with the Wrangler and Gladiator at the center of the range.

The company traces its roots to the 1950s and MEPCO (Military Equipment Parts Company), an early supplier of Jeep parts. TeraFlex Manufacturing followed in 1996 to build heavy-duty suspension for the TJ Wrangler, and today's catalog runs from full lift systems and the Falcon shock line to axles, steering and armor.

Authorized TeraFlex dealer. Prestige Truck is an authorized TeraFlex dealer, so what we sell is new and genuine TeraFlex. In TeraFlex's words, its limited warranty extends "only to the consumer who originally purchased the product," so keep your receipt with your build records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with a Falcon Nexus EF stabilizer?

Not with the included relocation bracket. TeraFlex says you need the Falcon 1-5/8" Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Clamp Kit (99-01-01-158).

Do I need a drag link flip kit?

It may. TeraFlex lists the HD Forged Drag Link Flip Kit (1853905 with tie rod, 1853930 without) as a possible requirement, and other changes may be needed to keep steering geometry correct.

How long does install take?

TeraFlex estimates about 1.5 hours.

What warranty does TeraFlex give?

TeraFlex covers its ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends and drag links for life against defects in materials and workmanship, and paint and powder coat finishes for 90 days. For knuckles, pitman arms, clamps and skid plates, contact us and we'll confirm the term before you order.

How quickly does it ship?

Shipping is free to the lower 48 states, and most orders arrive within 1-5 business days. We email your tracking number as soon as it ships.

Can you confirm it's the right part before I order?

Yes. Contact us with your VIN or year, model, front axle and lift height, and we'll check it against TeraFlex's fitment information before it ships.

Installation

Install time 1.5 hours
What's involvedRemove the steering stabilizer and factory tie rod, set the new tie rod to the factory length, torque the ends and grease the joints. With upgraded rotors, trim the backing plate to clear, and get an alignment.
Tools
  • Jack
  • Jack stands
  • Basic mechanics tool set
  • 2.5mm Allen wrench
  • 1-1/2" open end wrench
  • Rest on TeraFlex's tool list

Here's the short version. Follow TeraFlex's install sheet (below) for your Jeep's exact steps and torque values.

  1. Chock the rear tires, raise and support the front of the Jeep so the tires are off the ground, and remove the front wheels.
  2. Prepare the HD tie rod: fit the dust boot retaining spring (one per end) and the set screw plugs (two per end) with blue thread locker on the set screws; the spare O-rings are for later maintenance.
  3. Remove the steering stabilizer, back the tie rod end nuts off a few threads (21mm), and strike the knuckle casting around the stud (never the stud or threads) until the tie rod drops free; then remove the nuts and the tie rod.
  4. Measure the factory tie rod center to center and set the new tie rod to match as closely as possible; with upgraded brake rotors, trim the backing plate to clear (cut-off wheel or tin snips).
  5. Install the new tie rod and torque the tie rod end nuts to 63 ft-lbs.
  6. Recheck the length against the factory tie rod, tighten the jam nuts so both ends return to neutral without binding, grease the joints and fit the #344408 grease zerk dust cover; TeraFlex highly recommends a professional alignment.
