AdventureDex now upgrade the ball joints to the teraflex ball joints
+wranglerX Yeah! They are coming out in Feb 2018!
AdventureDex hey bro what is the name of the from what it looks like tie rod that connects to drag bar to pitman arm is it a regular tie rod end does it have a specific name the tie rod that connects to pitmen arm from drag bar ?
@@germanstein the ball joints they come with aren’t strong enough or why upgrade?
@@Diamondblend no because you take them apart you will see they are plastic inside and the teraflex you never have replace again you can grease them and tighten them if they become loose
Great video man! I like how you explain the process in many of your videos. You editing skills are getting better too.
+Roger Diaz Thanks for all the positive feedback! I will continue!! Jeepwave 👋🏼
Mad respect to you for getting that stubborn drag link removed off the pitman arm... the rod-end bearing is no joke 👍🏽
GREAT job on this video!!!! I just installed this Teraflex HD Drag link and Tie Rod kit in my 2007 JK. The sponge bob cut clip is 100% correct. LOL I have 108K on my Jeep and it took Thor's Hammer to the joints to drop. GREAT KIT though and I am glad I will NEVER have to do this job again. Teraflex joints are amazing and these parts will last forever! 1 Wish though. Wish they came with castle nuts and cotter pins for the added safety instead of lock nuts. What a super HD front end upgrade this kit is!
i never heard of hammering on knuckle to be bad. i always remove this way. you need a good sharp strike and it will fall free. when you strike the knuckle it makes the hole vibrate and it has the effect of getting bigger and smaller and it will release the taper. you dont need a big hammer but do get in a position where you can get some speed on the hammer. 2 to 3 good sharp hit are all you need
Glad I found your channel. Finally have weekends off now and had time to properly inspect my 2007 JK SMASH * it needs new tie rod & drag link bushings ...they are shot ...Your tutorial is the best I've seen...I'll post again after installation. Like in two weeks ....this week having a shop replace the Catylic converter ( all 4 ) ....code PO420 - bank 1 * Efficiency below threshold * Cheers * J
Glad you enjoy!
how much lift is on your jeep? I am looking to do this on my jeep possibly I have a JK wrangler with a 4 inch lift with 35” tires. So should I just use the HD tie rod and drag link kit or use the flip kit? Thanks in advance.
Great video!! Which front bumper is that? Looking to replace mine and that looks great!!
I’m not sure if you had said in your previous videos but is the jeep your daily driver? If so can you just tell me how it is for daily life? Please and thank you! P.s. love your videos bro keep them coming!
+Mina Girgis Thanks! Yes it is my daily but I have access to other vehicles for other purposes. This wouldn’t be suitable for driving long distances every day! Thanks for watching!
Super informative and very easy to learn. Thank you!
Thanks! Your very welcome!
Always like your video , I learned a lot from your sir thanks
Hey man, great video! Just got the Terra Flex parts for my JK. I'm currently running 33" tires and do a lot of off roading. I would like to go to 37" tires when I re gear and keep factory fenders. What is your lift and are you getting any rubbing with those 37" tires? Do you off road with sway bars disconnected?
Nice work bro. What size lift? I did same upgrades on my 14’ Rubicon, but my DL is completely stretched and cannot adjust anymore to align! Any advice would B Gr8 🙏🏿
Great video! Are you gonna upgrade to a new tire carrier if so which one ? And any brake upgrades coming up?
+Jaz Atwal Yes and yes!! Probably a HD hinge for the spare and a big brake kit!! Thanks for watching!!
I installed mine but steering is off and sleeve is on max I can’t make it any shorter to bring the steering to center position did u have that issue but i still have to get the alignment done I haven’t done that yet
Hi, Nice video. What kind of seat are you using while working? It seems nice with space for tools. Thanks.
Did you tight up ball joints ? With the adapter?
Will the stabilizer clamp work with the Falcon nexus adjustable steering stabilizer?
Hey AdventureDex, love the videos, I know this is a bit late, but I just saw the video and wanted to know your opinion on drop pitman arms. I’ve heard mixed opinions on them, but what do you think? Just lifted my Jeep and ordered this same high steering kit, because my drag link bushing was busted but I don’t know if I should order one. Any advice would help.
Did you regear your differential for those tires? If not can you tell me what the stock gear ratio is? I believe it's 3.73. Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear.
dex is it normal for the top end of the drag link to feel kinda weaker than the other balljoints. i can move it without much hand force. please help i just ordered the combo teraflex kit
hi I know this is a old comment but I was wondering...I can move the the tie rod bar up and down with my hand,im pretty sure thats not normal, and the drag bar too. it moves 2-3 inches up and down?? anybody please help. I'm very surprised , my jeep is a 2009 with 56K miles on it and haven't done any HD off roading etc
Will this be able to fit with the rough country dual steering stabilizer
Hey saw ur comment i am actually gonna be installing that tierod too and i already has a dual RC steering S so were u able to fit dual SS ?
Dude, AID sells pickle forks for like $20.... saved my a$$ when changing my draglink!!
Or just borrow one from a friend!
+Ben Jamieson Now you tell me 🤦🏻♂️ lol Thanks for the Support!
Where are the grease fittings or how do you grease them?
Would you need this kit if you were running a smaller 33 in tire?
+Kohana Hackett Not necessarily!! Just depends how you are using your jeep!
Hey thanks for the video. I am writing this comment with the hopes that you might be able to help me with a situation that I have going on.
I have 79 Jeep CJ and I order something called The cure for it. It didn't come with instructions basically says that it goes on the drag link but it doesn't tell me if it goes on the side by the pitman arm or the other end of the drag link 😳.
I was hoping with your experience and knowledge you might be able to tell me where it goes. I only ordered one of them and the salesperson was not very helpful, so I don't know if it take one on each end of the drag link or just one, but wich end?😳
I know that something so simple should be so difficult but I just want to learn the right way and Im asking you because you seem to be very smart about this things. Any help will be appreciated thanks.
Hey, I did a little bit of research and apparently it’s for Y drag link and tie rod connections. It’s goes on where the drag link connects with the tie rod. So basically the opposite end to the pitman arm. I’ve never used one before but I hope that helps 👍🏼
@@adventuredex Thank you so much. I have done research but I couldn't understand where it was supposed to go. I also thought it goes there but wasn't sure. Now that you tell me that I am going to do that and I will feel better about it. I can't thank you enough GOD bless and I will always be grateful. 👍🏽😊
Your very welcome 🙏🏼
@@adventuredex Man! I really can't thank you enough. I appreciate the fact that you don't know me but yet took the time to help me out by doing research. I will not forget that and I promise that I will pass it forward, ok👍🏽😊
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thanks I appreciate your support
Great video, do you have spacers to fit the 37s?
+Anthony Best Great question, I am not running spacers because I have the correct offset and backspacing! Thanks for watching
Did you grease the joints after installing?
Put mine on a couple weeks ago and it still feels as if my joints are loose. Like I wiggle them by hand
The joints have a little leeway otherwise they would snap under tension. Thanks for watching
so di you notice you dont feel bumps in the road through the steering wheel? curious if i should change mine because i feel every bump in the road through my steering wheel.
Yah! Heavy duty tie rod and drag link makes a huge difference. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the great vid and response!
If you feel bumps it's not necessarily the tierod/draglink as much as their ball joints. You're better off upgrading as always but you'll notice the difference more because there's new ball joints installed.
Can you do a video to show how to use the set screws?
Tools used? Size? Torque?
I would recommend a tie rod pulled. Makes the job so much easier!!
Hello, can this be done with out taking the tires off? Do you guys recomend upgrading the pitman arm at the same time?
Tires must come off! No pitman arm upgrade is necessary! 👍🏼
Tires don't have to come off. I did mine with it on the ground.
How long did the install take? Thanks bro!
About 1.5 hours. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Gotta get a new steering stabilizer! Night and Day difference. I’d go with FOX
+Trump For The Win Definitely agree!!
I had to use a zizz wheel and cut a little off of the ends of the Teraflex HD draglink in order to get my steering wheel straight.
+Brant Mims really??? How come???
The threaded ends were touching and i could'nt get the wheel to center, I don't know if my ends were a little longer than normal or what, but i didn't have to shave much, it fits now, and i love the feel compared to the OEM crap.
+Brant Mims that’s is strange!! But I completely agree!!
You should put on a Taraflex falcon steering stabilizer. You won’t regret I️t
+Michael Bodine Thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to the build list!
Do you like it? I ordered the falcon yesterday
What ball joints do you recommend?
Next video, new ball joints ?
+Julien Tardif Not next but it will be coming! I am waiting for the Teraflex ball joints to be released! Stay tuned
Tie rod ends touching ur brake heat shield? Its normal?
They shouldn’t touch.
@@adventuredex well urs is touching homie lol and all the vids i have seen ppl be like they touch it and cut the shield and some just leave it as is. But they all do touch though
Yah since had to fix it 👌🏼
@@adventuredex do they need to be lubed ? Or just needs to b adjust
Great video man
Thanks Cody!
AdventureDex your welcome
Might as well have gone with a high steer set-up, top mount drag link, would've gained a few inches clearance
+JK P. I. M. P_NYC Agreed but in my case, I am not sure the few inches would of been worth the extra labor! Thanks for watching
AdventureDex You do have a point. It is a tedious process especially if you don't plan on swapping out knuckles...you'd have to drill out the knuckles w/ a roto hammer drill, that alone is a task in itself, then tapered inserts but it isn't just for clearance purposes, also benefits geometry correction as it gets drag link to be parallel with track bar. Great upgrade either or nonetheless. I appreciate your content. You should consider doing Patreon.
+JK P. I. M. P_NYC Thanks man! I completely agree!!
Great video!
+ACA JEEP Thanks!!
should ends on tie rod be threaded exactly the same length
Not necessarily, I would recommend measuring it, eye balling it then getting a professional alignment. Thanks for watching
sometimes you can count the exposed threads for each side and replace the same and it can work.
How do you afford all these mods? Sponsors?
+Trump For The Win Great question, the build is 85% out of pocket. I have received a few small sponsorship that have helped!! Thanks for the support
AdventureDex I’m glad to hear you do receive some things from sponsors, that’s always nice! I always appreciate hard work and quality built Jeeps! Keep up the awesome content!
+Trump For The Win Thanks brother!!
Great video 😎👍👍👍👌
+Tarek Hatoum Thanks!! 👍🏼👍🏼
