overview
The Synergy MFG Heavy Duty Steering Kit for TJ/LJ, XJ, ZJ, and MJ models is a larger and stronger, bolt-on replacement for stock steering. No reaming or drilling of the steering knuckles is required. This is a direct bolt-on kit.
Synergy modeled the geometry of this steering after the stock Y-Style steering. We did this for a couple of reasons. Y-Style steering minimizes bump steer (compared to T-style), and by keeping the front wheels separated, helps prevent death wobble. There will be some toe change, but it will not adversely affect driving and there won't be any more toe change than there was with the stock steering. The complete kit includes a new Tie Rod, Drag Link, Steering Stabilizer Clamp, and all new HD Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends.
The Tie Rod is made from 1-3/8" 4130 Chromoly steel and is heat-treated for maximum strength. The Drag Link is made from 1-3/8" 1018 Solid Bar to eliminate any deflection. Both parts are finished with an abrasion-resistant powder coat finish for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. The Drag Link features our Double Adjuster Assembly allowing for adjustment of the Drag Link length without removal from the vehicle and the Tie Rod features Left Hand and Right Hand opposing threads to allow for adjustment of the Tie Rod length without removal from the vehicle. Fits vehicles with 2-6" of lift and requires a minimum of 2" front bump stop spacers. A single plane tie rod end is now included at the knuckle end of the Drag Link to prevent unwanted misalignment (flop) of the steering system.
