Reviews for Rugged Ridge 18050.83 Heavy Duty Tie Rod Kit for 87-95 Jeep Wrangler YJ

Great kit, well worth the money and very precise handling. I would have given it 5 stars except that the included sleeve collar bolts/nuts DO NOT handle the 35 lb/ft of torque. The bolts WILL bend and are not safe. Quadratec sent me a replacement kit no questions asked, but the new kit did the same thing. The rest of the kit is top quality so I don't know why corners were cut on these bolts.

I went to Napa and spent $40 on four 10mm coarse thread bolts, 8 flat washers, and 4 oval lock nuts. When your torque these bolts, the flat washers will keep the bolt from bending and the lock nut will keep everything from backing out.

Bent the tie rod after landing on one rock on its first trip. The factory one lasted longer. It’s overpriced and poorly made
