      Merideth: If you wanna tighten up your steering and increase your Jeep's durability for the trail, this Synergy Manufacturing Heavy Duty Chromoly Tie Rod will be a great addition to your 2007 to 2018 JK Wrangler. Now, you may have started to notice that your factory tie rod is a little worse for wear when it comes to flightiness in your steering with blown ball joints or just damage to the tire rod itself from bashing it off-road. Now, this will be a great upgraded replacement for the avid off-roader who's taking their JK off-road often and wants a steering setup that's going to be durable enough to take hits and provide solid longevity over time, especially with those heavier wheels and tires.Now, this setup will feature a robust build that's gonna be significantly bigger and more heavy-duty than your factory setup, and it's gonna have two heavy-duty ball joints on either side that will allow for tight front-end steering and little wandering with those oversized tires. Now, this will also come with a double adjuster sleeve that's going to allow a hassle-free alignment once you get this all setup.Now, the kit will also feature a hex tube insert and a clamp style and to reliably keep everything in place and maintain that perfect alignment. They're also getting Zerk fitting so you can maintenance these ball joints over time just upping the longevity out of the system. And I would like to mention that this will only work with aftermarket wheels with a backspacing of 4.5 inches or less, which is most aftermarket wheels. And this will require a larger steering stabilizer clamp because of the increase in size, both of which you can find right here on our site.Now, the construction is where this is truly impressive. Now, the sizing of the tubing alone is going to be a lot bigger again than the factory at 1.5 inches. And this is also going to be incredibly strong with a 4130 Chromoly build that's heat-treated for maximum strength and it's also gonna have a nice gray powder coat on top to resist any surface damage.Now, not to mention, the tie rod ends are also gonna be fully greaseable again with the centered metal for high wear resistance and you're getting the Zerk fitting for that maintenance over time. It's gonna come with everything that you need in order to make the direct swap. You're getting new cotter pins, new castle nuts, and hardware for these clamps on the end, making it a one-stop shop for a tie rod.Now, this will come in at roughly $500 making this a premium option when it comes to steering. Now, compared to other options, this is going to be the biggest and one of the strongest tie rods in the category. So, you're definitely getting what you pay for when you purchase this tie rod. Not to mention, the longevity of the build will run circles around the factory setup, making it well worth that extra couple of bucks if you're really taking a toll on your setup and taking your JK off-road often.So, install's gonna be a two outta three wrenches on the difficulty meter here. It's probably only gonna take you about an hour to get the job done with the right tools and the right setup. Again, I would like to remind you that you will need a larger steering stabilizer clamp because of the larger diameter tubing here, and you're also gonna need a wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing or less, so those factory wheels are not going to cut it, unfortunately, with this setup.Now, you're also going to need an alignment after you've installed this new tie rod for the best drivability. However, we are gonna show you how to get this onto your setup at home right now step by step. So, that's gonna wrap it up for me. Let's go ahead and get into it.man: For this install, you will need an impact, 18-millimeter, 19-millimeter, 21-millimeter, and 27-millimeter sockets, 7/32 Allen wrench, 8-millimeter and 19-millimeter wrenches, a pair of pliers, and a hammer. What's up, guys? Today we're gonna be installing a new tie rod on our Jeep. So, let's get started.So, now that we got our wheels off and the car's in the air, we're gonna go ahead and start by removing our steering stabilizer from our tie rod. And to do that, we're gonna remove the 18-millimeter nut on the backside here using our 18-millimeter socket on our impact. And once that's off, we should be able to just pop the stabilizer off of the lug and go ahead and free that up.Next, we wanna go ahead and loosen up our 21-millimeter nuts holding our toe rod ends into place. And to do that, we're gonna use our 21-millimeter socket on our impact. And you do wanna leave it on a couple of threads because we're gonna have to pop these tie rods out and we don't want it to fall, so that'll catch it. And once you've done that, you can go ahead and loosen up the other side as well.So, next, we're gonna have to free up our outer tie rod ends. And to do that, we're gonna take a hammer and go ahead and smack the edge of this knuckle right here. But be mindful not to hit your backing plate or your rotor just so you prevent any damage, and do the same thing for the other side. Now that we've got those freed up, we can go ahead and remove our nuts, and we'll go ahead and hold this so it doesn't fall down or swing, and do the same thing for the other side.So, before we go ahead and install our new tie rod onto our Jeep here, there's a couple of things we need to do, one being to transfer our stabilizer bracket over to the new sway bar, and two, to make sure that our tie rod ends or as close to where they were when the old one came off as possible, that way your alignment is minimally off, although we still do recommend going and getting an alignment after you install this. So, we're gonna start with the bracket. And for that, we're gonna use our 15-millimeter socket on our impact.Go ahead and get that off of there. So, a couple of things to note for installing this tie rod, it is thicker than your factory tie rod, so that will require you getting a new stabilizer clamp and also a new stabilizer to go with it. So, we're gonna remove our factory stabilizer using our 18-millimeter socket and impact and an 18-millimeter wrench and go ahead and continue our install.Now we're gonna reuse our factory hardware and go ahead and install our new stabilizer. And your factory nut does have a catch on it, so you don't need a wrench to hold the nut. And we'll go ahead and tighten that down again using our 18-millimeter socket on our impact. And you wanna back that off just a hair so you have some room for it to move up.So, now for our new mounting bracket, we can go ahead and remove our mounting bolt for now. And then you wanna grab a 7/32 Allen wrench. Go ahead and remove your mounting bolts. And once you have those separated, we'll go ahead and slide half of our mounting bracket underneath. Go ahead and slide the other half back over it, line up your holes, and then we can go ahead and loosely reinstall our Allen bolts for now. So, now that we have our bracket pieces separated, go ahead and slide one half under, slide your other half over, line up your bolt holesAnd we'll go ahead and loosely install our mounting bolts for now. Then we'll go ahead and run those down a little bit with our 7/32 Allen wrench just so they don't fall out while we're trying to put it on. Now that we've got that done, we can go ahead and remove our castle nuts from our tie rod ends and get ready to install them onto the truck. Now we're ready to go ahead and put on our new tie rod. So, we're gonna start over here on this end and just loosely install our castle nuts to hold it in place.And then we'll do the same thing on our other end here. We go ahead and move the knuckle into place. Slide your tie rod end up through, then go ahead and install your castle nut. So, now we can go ahead and tighten down our new castle nuts, which are 27 millimeters. So, we use our 27-millimeter socket on our impact. Go ahead and tighten those down and we'll go ahead and do the same for the other side. We can go ahead and install our cotter pins through our castle nuts and our ball joint stud.Sometimes you may even just need to give it a little tap just to get them to go all the way through. And then we'll go ahead and bend that tab back on the other side to lock them in place. Then you can grab a set of needle nose or regular pliers, whatever you have, and go ahead and bend your cotter pin back. And we're just gonna bend it a little bit, but you can either do it like this, or some people like the wing method around the nut, whichever you prefer. Both are just as secure. And then once you have that done, go ahead and do the same thing on the other side.Now we can go ahead and install our clamp bolts onto our tie rod ends. And for that, you're gonna use your supplied bolt, two flat washers, and locknut for each side. Go ahead and slide that on, put your washer in place, then go ahead and install your locking nut. And we'll do the same thing for the other side. We can go ahead and tighten these down using our 19-millimeter wrench and our 19-millimeter socket on our impact. And we'll go ahead and repeat this on the other side.Next, we can go ahead and install our grease fittings into our tie rod ends. We can go ahead and thread those in, and we'll tighten those up using our 8-millimeter wrench. And these are tapered, so you don't have to go crazy with them. Just get them nice and snug in there. And we'll do the same thing for the other side. Now we can go ahead and mount our stabilizer to our bracket, and we'll just slide it into place here and use our supplied bolt.Go ahead and tighten that down. And there is a washer on each side, then we can go ahead and use our 19-millimeter socket on our impact to tighten this down. Now that the stabilizer is holding our bracket where we want it, we can go ahead and use our 7/32 Allen wrench. Go ahead and tighten down all of our mounting hardware. And it is a good idea to go ahead and alternate which one you're doing on the side so that your pressure is spread evenly as you tighten down your clamp.All right, guys, that about wraps up our review and install of our Synergy Manufacturing Heavy Duty Chromoly Tie Rod for your '07 to '18 Jeep Wrangler JK. A couple of things to note here, again, for this and many other aftermarket tie rods, you will need a bigger steering stabilizer bracket and also a aftermarket steering stabilizer itself, both of which are available on our website. Just wanted to make note of that. Thank you for watching. And as always, for everything Wrangler, keep it right here at extremeterrain.com.
