I have Currie heavy duty steering on my xj. I need new tie rod ends and I was wondering if anyone knows what tie rods from stock vehicles fit if any. I can't justify paying $80 a tie rod from them. Thanks

Only idea i have is take one off and take it to a parts store and have them match it.

Tried that with my u joints. Auto zone and O'Reillys couldn't figure out the difference between an axle
u joint with abs and one without. But I may just have to do that at Napa or somewhere.

Yeah napa would be better the others are kinda dumb lol.

I picked up an unneeded moog catalog from the part store that contained all the measurements for all light truck rod ends and steering parts. It takes a while with a caliper but all the info in there.

One of the main reasons I stayed with the V-8 GC tie rod setup, 2 yrs. and no issues to date. Last yr. I started running a set of 35"'s on beadlocks part of the time off road only (a set of re-groove's I did) that I bought used.


I don't beat mine hard so no good info there but not the best idea for that I would guess. I will post when/if I have problems.

This steering was on the jeep when I got it so I had no choice. I wheel hard and have no complaints yet. Well my only complaint is the price of the ends. I even hit a huge rut going 20mph in the dark and nothing happened.

Well I looked on curries website and it says their tie rods are 22mmx1.5 so I looked up tie rod ends with those dimensions. Zj v8 tie rods are those dimensions so off to Napa it is. Thanks guys

I was told that the only place to get ends for the Currie steering kit is from Currie.

Please update this thread if you do find some ends that fit.
