Fits 1972-1983 Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, and Scrambler.

Beef up your steering system with the Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Assembly. This bolt-on solution is engineered to prevent bent tie rods when navigating trails with larger tires. By replacing thin factory components with high-strength DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) tubing, you achieve one-ton steering strength without the need for custom modifications to your steering knuckles.

The assembly is constructed from 1.25-inch ID steel that is cold-rolled, pierced, and drawn through dies to create a massive 1/4-inch wall thickness. This seamless DOM tubing eliminates the weak points found in welded alternatives. The kit includes 7/8-inch rod ends with standard tapered ends to ensure a precise, direct-fit installation into stock knuckle applications.
