HD Steering Linkage
As our
customers move to larger tires and more tougher terrain, the
stock steering linkage takes a real beating. So we offer
heavy duty tie rods and draglinks to keep your steering
straight. All of our tubes are thick wall DOM tubing
reamed for a precise thread fit rather than using thinner wall
tubing with variable inside diameters. You'll also notice
we don't sleeve and weld our tie rods but rather use a single
heavy wall tube for consistent, superior strength.
We have 3
different sizes of beefy DOM tubing available to fit just what
you need. They are:
-
1 1/8" x
.219 wall - Ideal for tight clearance applications with
plenty of strength but smaller diameter. Available
threaded 3/4" fine thread for Heim joint applications or
7/8" fine thread for standard tie rod or draglink end
applications. We've used this tube size with Heim
joints to fit between the leaf spring and the knuckle arm on
D44 axles.
-
1 1/4" x
.250 wall - Our standard heavy duty size, very stiff and
strong but will still give a little if you really smack it
hard. Only available in 7/8" thread for Heim joints or
tie rod ends.
-
1 1/2" x
.375 wall - No holds barred, the king of beef, super strong.
You'll probably rip the arms off your knuckles before this
tube bends. If you want strength closer to that of
your axle housing than a typical tie rod, this is for you.
Only available in 7/8" thread for Heim joints or tie rod
ends.
For GM truck
crossover steering draglinks, check our D44 or D60 crossover
steering pages.
