YETI XD™ JK Drag Link with Griffin XD™ Attenuator

STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™" Series linkage equipped with our GRIFFIN XD™ Attenuator. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler. 

The YETI XD Top Mount Draglink for a high steer or drilled-out stock knuckle was designed to be a complete bolt-on for JK's that have already been modified for a flipped draglink.  The YETI XD Top Mount installs in just minutes and bolts to a sleeved factory knuckle or High Steer knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.

YETI XD TIE ROD ASSEMBLY:

• Easy bolt-on installation.
• Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.
• MADE IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:

• 30mm 2 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JK.
• Cold-headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.
• Induction heat-treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.
• Steel on steel bearings provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.
• High-quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals, which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.
• Fully greaseable.

TIE ROD ENDS:

• Powder coat over E-coat for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.
• External threads are e-coated for durability and long-term serviceability.
• Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat-treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
• Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.
• Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket, unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

ADJUSTER SLEEVE: 

• Tie Rod adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.
• Adjuster clamps ensure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.
• Designed with right-hand and left-hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.
• Internal threads and tubes are also e-coated for long-term serviceability.

**NOTE** A minimum lift height of 3-3.5" (and correct bump stop) is required for a top-mount drag link. Minimum height requirements will vary by lift manufacturer - please contact us if you are unsure.  Part #79017001 (Track Bar Relocation Bracket) is necessary when flipping your drag link to maintain proper parallel geometry track bar and drag link. ***Please also note there is no taper insert provided with this product - if you have drilled an OEM knuckle we do recommend replacing the tapered insert with a new one before installing this part to ensure proper fitment***
