HD Steering Kit | Jeep Cherokee XJ/Comanche MJ/Wrangler TJ

Built for Extreme Steering Strength: Give your Jeep the durability it needs with Rough Country's Heavy Duty Steering Kit. Factory steering components are no match for trail hazards like rocks, ruts, and logs. This complete upgrade replaces the weak factory tie rod and drag link with massive 1.5-inch DOM tubing that is substantially stronger than stock and engineered to survive serious off-road abuse. Improved Clearance and Trail Protection: Designed with off-road performance in mind, this HD steering system provides increased clearance between the tie rod and differential cover. The reinforced design helps reduce the risk of trail damage while maintaining consistent steering geometry in demanding conditions. Tighter Steering Control: Equipped with rotational, non-articulating joints, this steering kit minimizes unwanted movement to help prevent bump steer. The result is a more precise, confident steering feel both on the trail and on the street. Easy Installation and Adjustment: Integrated wrench flats on the heavy duty tie rod ends allow for simple installation and quick, accurate steering adjustments. This user-friendly design makes aligning and dialing in your steering setup easier than ever. Built to Tackle the Toughest Trails: Beef up your Jeep Cherokee XJ or Wrangler TJ with a steering system built to handle off-road punishment.
