At $350 provided it is in good shape is a steal. Also make sure it is not the flipped drag link kit unless you need it.
Yea I’m sure, for the most part my entire front end has been upgraded, I’ve checked ball joints and u joints. I’ve narrowed it down to the drag link and tie rod. But at 55k miles on oversized tires it’s expected. It’s not the clunk more so just them flopping around.sure that is the issue.? before you pull out the parts shot gun. For as fast as those tre' ends can wear the lower ball joint tends go Way faster. since they are the part doing the most work.
Need to be sure you are checking these parts correctly. Or just replace till you do.
Yep we’re all good. Thank youWhatever you look into buying, make sure to verify that they fit with your wheels. A lot of the kits that have 1 ton or larger tie rod ends won't fit with the stock wheel or wheels with similar backspacing.
I see you’re not a fan. Either way I got this for less than what an oem goes for and all 4 ends are greaseable and rebuildable. Now I know steel can bend if you hit it hard enough. I’m not too worried about it bending if my stock was was still straight for 50k miles and 3-4 monthly adventures. If I bend one and see the need for aluminum then I’ll grab an aluminum one. Until then this is a good stop gap.I hope you don't wheel your Jeep or if you do, it's not in rock..
For on road use, the Currie stuff is fine. If you wheel it, You will bend the tie rod. The drag link is fine as it's protected. My Currie lasted about 6 months.
You are right, getting it for less than MSRP make it very palatable. Like I said, I 'm less than impressed with the tie rod but still run the drag link. Aluminum is the way to go but it's not the cheap way to go. If you do end up with aluminum at some point, I highly recommend the Fusion 4x4 tie rod. I have abused the crap out of mine and it's still straight as an arrow and the 2.5 ton ends are still rock solid. It ain't cheap but it's worth it for someone like me who loves to crawl in rock.I see you’re not a fan.
