      Description

      Regain Steering Control. If you're experiencing shaky steering or if your Jeep vibrates or wanders down the road, it may be time to replace those old, worn out tie rods. Installing a brand new OPR OE Style Replacement Tie Rod Kit will greatly improve your Wrangler's steering and ride quality.

      Superior Construction. The replacement tie rod housings are forged and then heat-treated to obtain the most desirable grain structure for unequaled strength and durability. Featuring a patented cover-plate design that sandwiches the full-ball stud between the upper and lower bearings to eliminate axial clearance “lash”. This design consistently produces just the right amount of preload, providing proper steering effort over the life of the part.

      Greaseable. The replacement OPR tie rod seals are made from a premium polychloroprene compound that can easily withstand dirt, abrasion, and temperature extremes. These seals also feature a grease relief valve so that debris can easily be flushed out when serviced to help prevent contamination for a longer life.

      Installation. OPR engineered their OE Style Tie Rod Kit to be a direct bolt-on replacement. However, professional installation is highly recommended. Please note that an alignment is required after installation.

      Application. This OPR Steering Tie Rod Assembly is designed to fit 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models.
