A bent tie rod ends the day and leaves the steering vague long before that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MetalCloak tie rod uses normalized 4130 chromoly tube, 1.625in OD with a .375in wall. Forged, heat-treated 1-ton dog-leg rod ends use the OE taper and lock nut, clear stock or aftermarket wheels, and limit front-to-back movement so the offset ends cannot flop. Grease boots keep dirt out, and the length adjusts on the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall takes about 30 minutes with no body modification. Set the toe, and the steering is ready for the next rock garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4130 chromoly tube, 1.625in OD x .375in wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged, heat-treated 1-ton dog-leg rod ends with oversized 1in threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-flop rod end design limits front-to-back movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE taper pin and lock nut for factory-style fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed with rubber grease boots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable while installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold zinc chromate finish, made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube: 1.625in OD x .375in wall 4130 chromoly CDS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 64-1\/2in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod ends: 1-ton forged, heat-treated, 1in threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoating: Gold zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall time: About 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody modification: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep Wrangler JL 2018-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep Gladiator JT 2020-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Rubicon, Max-Tow, 4xe, High Altitude, Mojave and 392 editions only.
