Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Assembly for Select 1984-2006 Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, & Wrangler (18050.51)

Fits select 1984-2006 Jeep Cherokee (XJ), Grand Cherokee (ZJ), and Wrangler (TJ/LJ).

The Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Assembly (18050.51) is a direct-fit solution for off-roaders running larger tires who need to replace prone-to-bending factory components. This assembly is engineered from 1.25-inch diameter cold-rolled steel, pierced and drawn through dies to create a true DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) tube with a massive 1/4-inch wall thickness. This construction ensures no seams or welds to fail under high-stress steering loads.

Designed for strength without complexity, this kit includes heavy-duty 7/8-inch rod ends with standard tapered ends to fit factory steering knuckles. This provides one-ton steering strength as a bolt-on upgrade with no drilling or modification required to your stock knuckles. Replaces factory part number 18050.51.
