I installed this Tie Rod back in April on my stock 2008 JKU-Rubicon. Absolutely love it, been on the trails with no issues and confidence it won’t fall apart on me. My only compliant, and its pretty minor, is the Steering Stabilizer Bracket I had to stall upside down because my Jeep is at stock height. My steering stabilizer would not align with the bracket hole upright like it should be. Should not be a problem once I properly lift my Jeep in the next year.
That all said. I would recommend to others, and buy again for a new Jeep because this one won’t be braking as long as I own this Jeep.

We looked at every JK tie rod on the market before deciding on this one. It is hands down, the beefiest tie rod available for the JK and surprisingly not the most expensive! With how low these are on the JK, being stout is extremely important. It comes packed nicely, and with candy in the box! The install was VERY easy as it uses the stock JK taper, so no need to mess with reamers or drilling or anything.
I’d recommend this to anyone with a JK, and will use another if I build another Jeep.
