Default need help identifying this steering mod

These knuckles came off my '92 XJ and were installed by the PO. They appear to have some sort of aftermarket cross over steering set up. The passenger spindle has separate holes for the drag link and tie rod. I showed them to a local Jeep shop in hopes of figuring out the manufacture so I could stock up on some spare TRE's but no luck.

Anybody have any idea what these things are?

Thanks,

It is made by Off road Only, it's their U Turn kit. For the tie rod ends, it takes the stock jeep tie rod. But it kind of appears in the pictures that they were drilled out to take a Heim joint but I may be wrong.

Not bad a 600 dollar steering setup you didn't know you had.

Thanks guys for the info. The holes are still tapers and was running regular TRE's. I was just unsure if they were stock or not.

Definitely a bonus on the upgrade! It makes up for some of the other "mickey mouse" stuff that was done by the PO I guess.

Just an FYI those are knuckles not spindles. Good way to get the guys at the offroad shop to make fun of you.

Good call, you are absolutely right and I should have caught that myself! I must have had a flash back to when I was working at an off-road shop years ago doing all those 2WD spindle lifts.


Thanks again to everyone for the help identifying the steering mods.
