Rugged Ridge HD steering kit
I have the HD steering upgrade from rugged ridge and my tie rod end boots seem to just keep shredding. replaced one recently because I thought maybe it was from not using my sway bar and the torque on the steering components but the boot I replaced is all torn up again. Seemed to be my OEM tie rod ends were always bad too, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts...

the rigged ridge is an inverted T setup correct? If so you could replace them with the JCR poly bushings, they reduce the roll in the tierod before you start turning. Should tighten up the steering a bit and solve your problem.

would these work on stock steering as well? and what are they made out of???
|
All those bushings do is get rid of the dead spot that you get from t setups.
|
I know they're pretty much just dust boots but I'm wondering why also I get a subtle popping noise when turning the wheel at slow speeds. This upgrade has certainly yet to pay off.

make sure your knuckles dont have any burrs on them. If so take and file them down and make sure they are smooth

housew - thanks for the link, we'll see how these work out

I really do like the inverted "T" setup (little to no bump steer), I didn't like driving around as if I was drunk. |
Did you buy the rugged ridge setup because it was cheap?
