This 2018+ Jeep steering kit (Part Number: 8825 - 01) is a game - changer for your Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU/JT. It's a direct bolt - in replacement fully welded to stock components, offering an instant upgrade in steering feel, stiffness, and strength. The Single Plane Tie Rod End gets rid of unwanted Drag Link and Tie Rod Flop, making it the best on the market. The Drag Link can be bolted into factory mounts or relocated for a high - steer setup using the included flip adapter. The Tie Rod also bolts into factory mounts without extra wheel requirements. You don't need to reuse factory drag link or tie rod components. It comes with Synergy HD Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends. The Drag Link is made from 1.5' x.250 wall 1026 DOM tubing, and the Tie Rod from 1.50' x.188 wall 4130 heat - treated chromoly tubing. It has an abrasion - resistant powder coat finish for durability and corrosion resistance. The Synergy Double Adjuster Sleeve allows easy adjustment of drag link length without removal. Both ends of the bar use pinch bolts for simple installation and adjustment. It's 100% bolt - on, easy to install with basic hand tools. The steering components are adjustable to fit all JL Wrangler models with different axle widths. It provides a more direct connection to the road/trail, preventing bent tie rods or drag links and the need to re - center the steering wheel. The single plane tie rod end simplifies installation and eliminates steering deadspots in hydro - assist setups. The Double Adjuster assembly allows length adjustment without removal. A Drag Link Flip Adapter is included for high - steer conversion, and a Front Track Bar Relocation Bracket is required. It's compatible with stock wheels and tires.

Using this steering kit is a breeze. First, gather your basic hand tools. You can directly bolt the Drag Link and Tie Rod into the factory mounts. If you want a high - steer setup, use the included flip adapter to relocate the Drag Link to the top of the steering knuckle. Just make sure you have the necessary parts like 3' bump stop spacers, front track bar relocation bracket, and wheels with proper backspacing. For installation in the stock location, there are no additional requirements. But if you're reusing the stock steering stabilizer or one with 1/2' mounting bolts, get the Synergy MFG 8807 - 03 Steering Stabilizer Relocation Kit. When it comes to maintenance, check the powder - coated finish regularly. If you notice any signs of wear or corrosion, you can touch it up. Also, periodically check the adjustment of the drag link and tie rod using the Double Adjuster Sleeve. If you need to replace the tie rod ends, remember that for the drag link, you'll need 1x 4162 - L and 1x 4163 - L, and for the tie rod, 1x 4163 - L and 1x 4164 - L.
