TJ steering ideas

Post by Zuk »

Ok peeps, I need to upgrade my steering, basically the tie rod. I can`t see reaming the knuckles for a dana30 to accept one ton stuff...save that for a beefier axle. I don`t want to spend $450+ for a Currie set up. Really being swayed toward to V8 ZJ upgrade. Any comments or products will be appreciated.

The zj upgrade is a very heavy duty set up for over the counter parts . Just paint it that be a upgrade . Lol. ;)

Dave Fox is "The Bomb Diggity" as my daughter Riley would say! Beat all pricing I could find even Rock Auto. Now to see how it drives. Old tie rod was bent causing toe-in of 2 3/16"! Yes Bill Jones, that`s how it`s been for about a month of DD! :badgrin:
