RR is a division of Omix-Ada. OA is the manufacturer of OE style Jeep parts so there's peace of mind in knowing that its designed for your jeep and not a universal part.

Not a bad price at all. They're like 250 new.

I paid about 180 for mine a few years back and it worked ok. Crossover steering has one flaw and that's the roll steer you get with the tie rod turning. JCR uses a plastic puck on one of the tie rod ends to help with this.

Besides having about half a turns worth of play in the wheel yeah. I was constantly correcting when on the street also there tie rod ends aren't a stock thread size so replacements have to come from them unlike JCR which uses stock chevy tres.

X2!

The slop in the RR setup as xjmarc stated is horrible in my opinion...got rid of mine less than a month after I bought it! I would not recommend it unless you are going to mainly use it for offroad. And the tie rods have a metric thread... :-(

No bueno!
