Hi All,
This is the first time up here and need some advise on tie rod, tie rod ends and maybe boots.
I have 2013 JKU Wrangle Unlimited and 4 years ago i had 4WP put on either a Rockclaw or Currie tie rod and drag link.
It was supposed to be Currie but I may have ended with Rockclaw.
The issue is the 2 tie rod boots need replacing and everyone is telling me I have to replace whole arm for $972. I have only done ~25k since install.
Nobody wants to sell/install boots or even rod ends.
They say its a safety issue.
Can someone tell if
When you say Rockcrawl im assuming you mean Rockcrawler.
Reputable, Quality tie rods and drag links have replaceable
ends. 100 percent .
Barnes
Doetsch
Currie
Rockcrawler
To just name 4 have replaceable ends.
As long as threads aren't damaged in anyway toatally
safe to just replace the ends. Sounds like someone's
giving you inaccurate info.
Here are current ads from above manufacture's
showing ends available with pricing etc.
Keep in mînd these are 1 ton replacement ends.
Don't know what you have now . One ton ends are
bit larger than stock so will need wheels with 4.5"
backspacing .
If your current tie rods are 1 tons than you should be good
to replace just the ends.
If unsure which ones to get just send Rockcrawler or Currie,
depending what you have , an email
with a pic of your current ends and they could advise on
replacement . Hope this helps . Let us know how it turns out .
