Steer Smarts XD Drag Link & Tie Rod Installation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Today, we’re installing a Steer Smarts drag link and tie rod assembly onto the 2021 Giveaway Wrangler!
The heavy duty drag link and tie rod are designed to improve the stability of your ride and they offer more durability. The parts themselves are powder coated with an external E-Coat for a longer lasting finish and they are both heat treated for greater impact strength.
The install itself is pretty straight forward, taking minimal labor. However, we did add in a Teraflex Steering Stabilizer and also took the time to add in the same Steer Smarts Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket that made its way onto the Gladiator in another video.
If you’re looking to improve your ride after the addition of some bigger tires and a lift kit; this upgrade from Steer Smarts is for you. And if you’d like to know where to get yours, follow the links below!
Or you could ENTER to WIN the 2021 Giveaway Wrangler or 2020 Gladiator and take one of these AWESOME Jeeps home!
Don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE in order to stay up to date with the Giveaway builds or if you’re an accomplished or budding “Driveway Mechanic” watch our DIY videos for more helpful tips and mods for your Jeep!
If you have any questions or comments about the install, our past videos, or any subjects you’d like to see us cover; feel free to comment! We’d love to hear from you!

It's worth mentioning that you are using the JK version of the Falcon stabilizer as the JL connects to the stock axel location and cannot be used on aftermarket track bars. Also, the Steer Smarts track bar is 1-5/8" which is important when ordering the stabilizer.
Thank you this is what I needed to know and couldn't find anywhere on Northridge or Teraflex web sites.
I have the Steersmarts Yeti XD HD drag link flip, Adjustable Track bar, an Tie rod bar installed on my 09 JKU. Need to get them installed on 19 JL.
What are the red caps and rubber gaskets you left on the table during the install?
Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos. All your doing is costing me money!!! Teraflex CT3 Apline 3.5" lift, Falcon SP2 3.1 and that was just for starters. Still adding to our JL build with your videos. My wife loves it all, her Jeep and my $$$$. LOL
She just thinks I'm doing it for her. 😉
Thanks again, now I need that steering stabilizer you just put on.
Just instated SteerSmarts YetiXD TieRod, DragLink, TrackBar and their steering stabilizer on my JLU. Sooo much beefier compared to stock parts and crawled amazing in URE
Just installed this tie rod 1/8” in ( developed a Death wobble) was reading a jeep thread said to adjust to 1/8” toed out. Worked a lot better. 2011 jk 2 door sport 3” lift 17” wheels 35x12.50.
Steer Smarts recommends .5° total tow out
How did you torque the drag link bolt @ the pitman arm?
Did you get the new mopar steel steering gear box?
If you had to pick one to fix the "slop" in the JL steering, would you replace the Drag Link or the Tie Rod? Either way, the Sector Shaft Brace is recommended right?
We would pick the one that is the most worn.
The sector shaft brace kit is a great addition, especially if you have the aluminum steering box.
If you have the steel steering box, we would replace the tie rod and drag link first.
The link in the description for the steering stabilizer is for the stock configuration. Is the model number that you used in the video the one for the JK model number for 1-5/8” tie rod? Part # 01-02-22-110-158
Yes, that's the one! www.northridge4x4.com/part/stabilizers/01-02-22-110-158-falcon-nexus-ef-2-2-adjustable-stabilizer-1-5-8-tie-rod
Do you guys carry the Teraflex trackbar bolt that you used in this installation video? If so what’s the part number please?
We normally use the Fox stabilizer bolt, unfortunately we are currently out. We do have more on the way:
www.northridge4x4.com/part/track-bar-brackets/803-02-028-fox-racing-track-bar-bolt
We do have some of the Synergy track bar bolts in stock:
www.northridge4x4.com/part/track-bar-brackets/8806-01-synergy-manufacturing-track-bar-stabilizer-mount-stud
Where Can I get the falcon track bar bolt? Is it included in the falcon stabilizer box?
We have the Fox stabilizer bolt in stock: www.northridge4x4.com/part/track-bar-brackets/803-02-028-fox-racing-track-bar-bolt
Will the steersmart stabilizer tie rod mount work on that falcon?
It would work with this one:

And this one:

@@northridgenation awesome. Thank you 🤙🏻
You will regret that teraflex bar. They keep having issues. Enter to go with the whole kit from steersmarts
What issues have you had?
Correct, I'm having issues with mine. There's a lot of noise and play when moving the steering wheel.
@@josealferez6376 Whats moving? Can you post up a short vid?
The Steer Smarts Trackbar won’t clear an ARB Diff cover.
are those drag link and tie rod pre-grease?
Yes, they come pre-greased.
This can use for rhd jeep wran3 jl?
Yes, just turn it around.
That drag link you pulled out wasn't a factory drag link.........Just sayin. #Teraflex
The track bar is TeraFlex, the drag link was an OE drag link.
@@northridgenation OOOPSIE.....my bad. I stand corrected :-). I should pay more attention.
@@ReConGrpTx No worries, thanks for watching and commenting.
Good video but could have done without the annoying music.
