These seem like a good start and for people not getting too extreme, these should help substantially... and at a reasonable price. Assuming these are steel, I would prefer it to the Broncbuster solution (which is aluminum, if I remember correctly).
Very interesting. In the early photos i had seen of broncos I thought those were the axle shafts and i scoffed at how skinny they were. Ha. Glad to learn it's the tie rod and not the axle shafts. To be fair, remember how skinny the jeep tj factory tie rod was, just a hollow skinny tube. This was very interesting and effective preventive solution for bronco owners.
@@northridgenation i agree that we bronco owners need swaybar disconnects, boggles my mind that the aftermarket hasn't come out with anything yet as it would fly off the shelf for sure.
Bronco Buster makes a set for $299. Don’t need to remove anything but the tire and no alignment needs. JKS is cheaper by far including doing the alignment. Which are better? Which are stronger? Which look better? Hard to say without rigorous testing and I don’t know anyone who will undergo such testing.
10: my idea was making 1 tie rod 2 tire rods so as a bad mechanic your not stuck middle of no where & I was sure to make fixing it simple as screwing in a bolt. Bc if shorter length rod 3 section vs 2 section it is under way less load & way stronger but if it breaks redundancy God design. But sleeve is better than nothing so long as you said not just pushing problem up steam. My mind set is racing proof for ever weekend use, super easy simple cheap fix.
Do you sell replacement Bronco tie rods? I would like to keep a few in my Jeep to help get the broken Broncos out of my way on the trail. 😂 That said, great idea with the sleeves and great install video!
Deathwobble is obviously a part of what makes owning a jeep exciting... but Deathwobble with a 392 at full song is where you really start to feel alive... LOL. 😂
$50 for the sleeves is a great price unless it causes your $1200+ steering box to explode. I think someone here said the point of the tie rod is to act as a fuse. If that is the case why not carry a spare "fuse" or two for $25 to $75 a piece. That and a few tools will cost less than the some of the more extreme "protection" devices.
If 3 sections chrome alloy short length & redundancy double rods problem is gone race proof tuff, or easy screw in fix when u want not during race or off roading trip.
So basically Ford produced a make-believe off-road vehicle, I almost bought a Jeep a year ago which have front and rear rear ends which is a lot tougher like my 77-K5 blazer indestructible had, probably should’ve went with the Jeep
The Bronc Buster solution isn’t cheap, but you don’t need an alignment after installing them. They’ll also give you your money back if break a tie rod with their brace installed. Might be with the extra couple hundred bucks.
It's so the tie rods don't break and leave you stranded. Is the next weak link the steering box? Who knows. Need more time out on the trail to find out.
Why make weak shit in the first place??? , This stuff should be at least as strong as the 3/4 ton size steering that was used in 78/79... get a clue ford
I've always counted the threads that's worked out pretty well for me!! 🤔😉

Please make a sway bar disconnect kit for the Bronco
We like the idea. Hopefully @Grimm Off-road will be working on one soon!

That's what makes these sleeves nice, they add a little strength without going overboard.

Wait so i should instal these so my steering rack is the next place it breaks ?

Yeah a lot of people don’t realize tie rods are fuses. They’re a lot easier to replace than components further in.
It is possible to install the sleeve without lifting the car or remove the tire?
It might be possible, but it would be a lot tougher to do it that way.
so ford has a small shaft huh...
That's what she said???? 😂
I changed auto oil air in tires & oil changes but not mechanic electric or mechanical, at all not doing belts know your own ability.
As a former tech who did a lot of alignments, leave the loctite out. No need for it.
Thanks for the tip!
Tech Tim loves his Loctite, we'll see if we can pry the bottle out of his hand! 🤣
