Steer Smarts Yeti XD Pro-Series Aluminum Tie-Rod Assembly

STEER SMARTS presents our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD Pro-Series” linkage for your Jeep. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler.

The YETI XD Tie Rod is a direct bolt-on for any JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator. The YETI XD Tie Rod is a quick and easy install and there is no need to modify or alter Jeep.

Features

YETI XD TIE ROD ASSEMBLY:

* Easy bolt-on installation.

* Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

* MADE IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:

* 30mm 1 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JL.

* Cold headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.

* Induction heat treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.

* Steel on steel bearings provides exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.

* High-quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.

* Fully greaseable.

TIE ROD ENDS:

* Powder coat over E-coat for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

* External threads are e-coated for durability and long term serviceability.

* Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat-treated for greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

* Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat-treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

* Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.

* Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

ADJUSTER TUBE:

* Easy bolt-on installation.

* Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

* Tie Rod adjuster is manufactured from large 1-3/4" diameter solid high strength 7075 Aluminum for maximum strength.

* Pro-Series Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.

* Designed with right-hand and left-hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.

* Hard coated for long term serviceability and durability.

* Tie Rod fits all left-hand drive JL Wrangler JT Gladiator models 2018+ including Rubicon and requires a 1 3/4" diameter damper bracket that is not included. Check out the YETI XD Damper Bracket .

Note: A minimum of 17” wheels are recommended.

A: The 7075-T6 aluminum used in this tie rod provides exceptional strength with a fraction of the weight of steel. It’s also highly resistant to bending and can flex under extreme loads without permanent deformation—ideal for off-road use.

A: No. This specific tie rod is designed to fit Non-Rubicon axles only. Rubicon models have different steering geometry and require a different tie rod configuration.

A: Yes. It’s a bolt-on upgrade for the factory tie rod on Non-Rubicon JL and JT models and does not require any cutting, welding, or additional modifications.
